I think Gabapentin has low evidence for bipolar at best. I take it because it is effective in ameliorating EPS to my bipolar meds but not as a bipolar med per se. I also think it helps with sleep although I still need Seroquel for that.
There is evidence that Gabapentin improves sleep architecture.
What have you and your peoc decided since you posted? Stay on it or not?
