I have Bipolar and i have been using Epitec 200 for the last 8Years. I dont understand why you say "weight Gain"? My weight is still the same since 8Years ago (16yrs) and i am sure it has to do with Epitec as it is the only drug i use. The Drug really helps me lift my mood and gives me the confidince i need! but, Does anyone else have this problem with weight being the same? I also feel extremely lazy and dont have the energy to go out and do something. Any advise on something else? ## Various drug articles for Epitec (lamotrigine) actually list "weight loss" (not weight gain) as a potential side effect. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a695007.html#side-effects In any case however, this medication is in a class of drugs called anti-convulsants. So while change...

How are you doing? Sorry about the problem that you're having. Have you consulted your doctor, yet? That's still pretty rapid increase of the dose, so it isn't surprising that it would cause some intense side effects. Learn more Levetiracetam details here.

I am 24 years old, after severe depression/mania/psychosis from age 12-20 I tried many Antidepressants/mood stabilizers/anti psychotics and even ECT(with no effect), I finally got the right balance of 225mg of Venlafaxine in the morning(8am) and 300mg of Lamotrigine at night(8pm). I have been stable with limited mania/depression and no psychotic features for 6 years now. I weighed 97kg when I first started this dose of Venlafaxine and Lamotrigine 6 years ago, however over the last 11months I have slowly lost weight through exercise and healthy eating/portions. I have noticed as this was happening in hindsight I was/am feeling more tired, I find it very hard to wake up in the morning and just generally tired(but not in a depressed way) Also my heart rate during exercising has been pretty...

Hi after suffering yet again with severe sciatica from an l4-l5 bulging disc and the cocodamol and diclofenac not wiorking even at the max prescribed doseage and a fortune spent at chiropractor, my doctor prescribed gabapentin. I'm on my 3 rd night of just 300mg and apart from continuing the diclofenac and a much lower doseof cocodamol 1-2 times per day I can actually walk again and am no longer permanently hunched over. My question is that the doctor said to increase these over several days to 3 per day but surely if I feel fine ion this dose I shouldn't need to. I have finally been able to do some small physio exercises which I hope will help more so that I can come off everything all together and after reading lots about this drug I'm averse to staying on it for too long ...

My friend took 200 neurontin at 300mg apiece. What should i do? ## In these types of situations, I cannot stress enough how important it is to get emergency medical help. Anyone who fears that someone's life may be in danger due to such an action should call 911 in the U.S. or take the person to their nearest emergency treatment facility. While there are those of us online that are always happy to help, if we can, it is not possible for us to administer life saving measures over the Internet and while you're waiting for an answer to your post, the person's life could be slipping away.
