Give it a try, I'm keen to hear what your pdoc says. It's mildly sedating, but in a good way. Some find it too sedating. It's actually an anticonvulsant so it makes sense that it'd have benefits for bipolar. The research is pretty wishy washy when it comes to its efficacy for anxiety. But people swear by it, and I'm one.
