Neurontin is an anticonvulsant. I think the abstract for the research study meant adding lamotrigine to one of 3 conditions, 1) Neurontin, 2) a tricycle antidepressant, or 3) another non-narcotic medication. Hope that clarifies it.

Here Neurontin is identified as a tricyclic antidepressant, but you list it under anticonvulsants. Which is it?

I was recently in the hospital and was given 200 mg Darvocet and 15 mg Dilaudid for pain. It worked very well. It was the first time I had ever been given two painkillers at one time.
