I'm more intense on this drug. I'm doing business in an assertive, firm way, and kicking a*s, frankly. And I'm feeling such incredible despair because I am being true to what is in my heart and letting it be known. It's devastating, and I'm living through it.

I think Lyrica does this to me.

Some of the side effects according to Web MD:

A small number of people who take anticonvulsants for any condition (such as seizure, bipolar disorder, pain) may experience depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, or other mental/mood problems. Tell your doctor right away if you or your family/caregiver notice any unusual/sudden changes in your mood, thoughts, or behavior including signs of depression, suicidal thoughts/attempts, thoughts about harming yourself.

Be very, very careful. Monitor, monitor. No rash actions. When I first tried gabapentin (has some similarities to this medication)--I felt more depressed for a few days then it seemed like I adjusted to it and then the feeling lessoned. Be really careful. You have been changing this med by starting then stopping then starting again. If you tell the doctor this, they may take it away but if you continue to feel despair from it--maybe that would be best.
