"i struggled all my life with major depression and hypomania. have had diagnosis every where from add,major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, and ptsd (cancer survivor). finally  a highly experienced state pyschiatrist properly identified me as non specific bi polar with rapid cycling. over a ten year prior period, i had tried, zoloft, lexipro, zyprexa, ritalin, all the benzos, several antipyscotics, and many illegal substances to no avail. when i finally met the doctor that diagnosed my bipolar he prescribed gabapentin as a mood stabilizer as well as a sleeping med (ambien) and zoloft (the only anti depressent that ever worked). i have been on this regiment for almost 3 years now and i fully believe it has saved my life!"
