should neurontin ever be prescribed for explosive mood disorder and is there such a disorder?
Answers:
Neurotin is a anti-convulsant medicine and is approved through the FDA for people with seizures. However, some patients with mood disorders, like bi-polar have been prescribed this medicine as sort of a last resort because other medicines prescribed were not effective. It has a anti-anxiety medicine in it which seems to calm the nerves etc which helps to stabilize those suffering from these disorders. Alot of people with Bi-polar find that this medicine works or at least helps.
Yes, in fact it has shown some promising effects for bipolar disorder. Most of the treatments for bipolar disorder are actually anti-convulsants such as Neurontin. I'm taking Lamictal right now and it is doing well for me. Besides the primary and only drug singularity used to treat bipolar disorder, Depakote and Tegeratol are the most popular for mood disorders right now. If you have anger issues then adding a anti-psychotic might help.
the technical term is intermittent explosive disorder it is in the
DSM-IV however neurontin is often used for agitation in bipolar disorder and as an effective physical pain medication
