[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 81087, member: 2423"] Hi T, I don't think there's any problem with trying Neurontin because it is an anticonvulsant like Lamictal and certainly shouldn't send K into mania the way an AD could. However, I've read that Neurontin isn't effective for mood stability and may not be all that great for anxiety either. But I do know a family with two BiPolar (BP) kids who have done very well on Neurontin. So I think it's worth a shot. How are K's hallucinations on the current dose of Abilify? I'd be concerned that they'd come flooding back if you discontinued the AP altogether. No anticonvulsant will treat hallucinations. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
