[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 81094, member: 1498"] Two anticonvulsants aren't unusual. I've heard Neurontin being helpful for in short run for anxiety but that it seemed to wear out over time. From the Neurontin prescribing information: Quote: [B]WARNINGS Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events; Pediatric Patients 3-12 years of age[/B] Gabapentin use in pediatric patients with epilepsy 3-12 years of age is associated with the occurrence of central nervous system related adverse events. The most significant of these can be classified into the following categories: 1) emotional lability (primarily behavioral problems), 2) hostility, including aggressive behaviors, 3) thought disorder, including concentration problems and change in school performance, and 4) hyperkinesia (primarily restlessness and hyperactivity). Among the gabapentin-treated patients, most of the events were mild to moderatein intensity Considering that Lamictal seems to cause hypomania sometimes, this may not be a good combination. Anyone hear anything about Gabitril lately? It was being trialed for anxiety but I never heard anything more. Oddly it has a warning that it can cause seizures in people without epilepsy. [/QUOTE]
