Yes, there certainly could be overlap.


I have found that Gabapentin 300mg./daily is really helping me with bipolar anxiety and agitation. (Higher doses caused me to feel extremely unwell...weak, vertigo, exhaustion).

I agree with others about checking into an additional mood stabilizer.

As for noise - oh, my gosh, yes! Even the sound of someone talking feels like agony. Interestingly, if I play music that always makes me feel good. All other sounds - ugh.
