Depakote, Cymbalta, Xanax, BP meds and Neurontin.

Just the title sounds like a suicide cococktail. I  am seeing 2 docs , one Psych guy , and a neurologist.I have pathology in the cervical mri, but supposedly not enough to cause my symptoms.  The Psychiatrist knows I'm going to the neuro guy, but the nuero doc doesnt know I'm seeing the Shrink( no offence).
   My symptoms , as I've posted many times , are numbness & tingling , with no overt pains for an overweight guy that still tries to be active . What does neurontin do. It's kinda scary when ya think about it ....all that shtuff running thru your liver, but I will say this , the depakote was like flipping a switch in me , 2 days and I was a different person. I just dont wanna be dopey. How long will it take the sleepiness to go away. Will the neurontin make it worse?

As long as both docs know what your taking you should be fine. But you can google a drug interaction checker-I use it all the time. You out in all your meds and it gives you the data on any interaction. Such as moderate drug-drug or Severe drug-drug, it's helpful but not as good as talking to both docs and letting them share charts. That's what I do since I have 2 docs also.
Best of luck,
Erin

I'm not really in pain. I just feel icy all over. The neurologist says my mri doesnt show anything bad enough to make me numb. The abscense of pain is pointing him toward diabetes, but the blood tests havent come back yet. The symptoms that bother me are just this.hot feels cold , cold feels hot, my arms are weak and sometimes my legs.
  I have no doubt I'm bipolar, and since starting the depakote, the symptoms are better.But not gone.

what are your symtoms for ruptured disk in neck? I have chronic migranes and neck pain. Just curious

[numbnotdumb]

I just started taking the depakote, I havent started on the neuronton yet for the same reasons you state.
   As far as the numbness, are the symptoms that made you seek medical help numbness & tingling , or are you saying the meds you are on make you emotionally numb? The depakote was like flipping a switch at first, the anxiety was unbearable before I took it. But the anxiety didnt get so bad till I realized I really did have a ruptured disc in my neck, so I'm going through the stress of sorting through whats physical and whats mental. I guess I'm trying to find someone who has been through the same symptoms.

  I like your name that's great because I am also on a cocktail of Clonazepam(benzo)and Ativan(benzo) to me it seems like you are overmedicated, I know I am and I am curently withdrawing off the Atiavn with the help of supplements www.****.com. Anyhoo I would go to your doctor and have him cut down all the pills man seriously Yike!!! not trying to scare you but that is too much.... As for your question about the Depakote and Neurontin I have no clue....  But please do yourself a favour and cut the pills down with medical supervision... Your body and mind will thank you....

                                  P.S. I know all to well what it's like to be numb
                                                            It sucks man
                                            but you will make it man trust me...
