Hey Everybody,

I don't suffer from Bipolar 1 or 2, but more mood disorder NOS with obsessive thoughts and psychotic features. But i do need to take a number of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics to prevent me from going through the roof.

I've been suffering from alot of agitation and irritability since August of last year. I've had to get my antidepressants adjusted a number of times prior to going inpatient in February. I'm back in partial hospitalization where i've gone back on an SSRI (Prozac instead of Effexor) and my pdoc increased my Neurontin to 900 mg t.i.d. My concern is that i feel somewhat inebriated from the increase in Neurontin, which i told my doctor this morning.

Should i ask to go off Neurontin and onto Trileptal? Dealing with this agitiation and irritability is a struggle and my therapist doesn't seem to know how to help. In partial i get to see a pdoc each day for 5-10 minutes, and hopefully i won't have to go back inpatient. I'll give the increase in Neurontin a couple more days until i see my pdoc on Monday.

What have other people done to treat the agitation/anger/irritability?
