Neurontin multi-use Neurontin is my most recent prescription to
prevent migraines, just a last resort. It seems to help, though
I still get occasional severe migraines. What is more
remarkable, however, is that Neurontin has been universally
attacked as ineffective to control Bipolar, yet I now regard it
as my best management tool. I only take 25 mg every other day,
but I take similar mini-doses of my other meds (as I am only
Bipolar II), all of which give me side-effects. I take all the
fancy new expensive drugs, Lamictal (rash), Topamax (headache),
Trileptal (headache). The only other really successful drug for
me is Zyprexa, but it makes me swell and get sore, and I take it
on an occasional basis to help *treat* migraine. (I long ago had
to give up lithium, depakote, and tegretol.) Mr. Clyde
