I’ve read the same thing—that Lamactil is for the type that is depressed most of the time and has hypomania because it helps more with the low side.

Have you tried lithium? The lithium took care of most of my anxiety, and the gabapentin really helps with the rest of the anxiety except for reactive spiked here and there. It is an amazing combo. I was so anxious my whole body hurt.

I take just 100 mg gabapentin in the morning to address morning anxiety so I can relax a little and still work, then 600 mg in the afternoon and 600 mg at night to sleep.

I recently read gabapentin is great for bipolar anxiety. There are many reviews on drugs.com for bipolar.

I stopped the low dose Seroquel a couple of weeks ago (tapered) for sleep because I don’t need it anymore now that the gabapentin dose has been worked out.
