I want to follow up on this post. I saw my pdoc today and she has raised the Gabapentin dose to 600 mg./day (300 a.m., 300 p.m.). She said she's not prescribing it for my chronic back pain since that's not her job and I said, Oh I know...but I'm really hoping that's what it helps the most with.
I asked her if I could stop taking Lamictal and she replied NO NO NO
I don't want to be depressed, but I sure wouldn't mind some mania-lite.
