[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1032739, member: 196898"] Please may I suggest that you check the safety notes for Garbapentin since it may be bringing about mood swings and/or depression. It appears to be contra-indicated for diabetics (warning only) or previous history of depression. Get back to you doctor if you have any concerns. My wife was given it to treat her maniac depression when she was high, and it was used to quieten down her high moods. It did not suit her, and she was not on it for long. I myself have no experience apart from this. However, i do empathise with your husband. I suffered 2 strokes and a heart attack, and these have affected my mobility somewhat. I am also sitting on my A~** a lot, and grumpy as hell too. It is depression at no longer being able to do what I used to do. I do not have answers myself, but I fight it by taking control of my diabetes by (a) interacting on this forum, (b) researching topics and increasing my own knowledge of diabetes treatments, (c) taking an active role in organising my diet and involving my family in all of these. Now I feel more in control, and spend less time contemplating my navel. [/QUOTE]
