Perhaps anecdotally there has been some benefits?
I have taken it for nerve pain and put it on my list as one of those drugs to be taken if absolutely needed, low dose, for short periods of time only...in other words...a possibly helpful medication BUT one with lots of potential side effects.
Buspar sounds like a better choice. ????

Gabapentin did not pass the test for bipolar.
It is regularly prescribed for nerve pain and other things.
It is helping me with anxiety and depression right now.
I am taking a low dose -- 300 mgs a day.
