I have never heard of gabapentin being used to treat depression or anxiety in BP. That's interesting. I do take it off-label as an adjunct, but it's to help control hypo/mania.
A lot of the mood stabilizers can help treat hypo/mania or depression. I guess the same is true of some meds they are using off-label, too.

Yes, my old psychiatrist/neuro gave 300 to me when we were running out of meds. I actually started low dose and titrated it.
He said he prescribes 400 mgs (or was it 600) for people with nerve pain.
Today I noticed it helped with anxiety.
Sleep of course as well.
