Gabapentin treatment for bipolar disorders

ID Maidment

OJBECTIVE: To review the effectiveness data on the use of gabapentin in bipolar disorders. DATA SOURCES: Clinical literature was accessed through MEDLINE (January 1985-November 2000). Key search terms included gabapentin, mood stabilizer, and bipolar disorder. DATA SYNTHESIS: Bipolar disorder is a complex condition that can be difficult to treat effectively. Mood stabilizers are increasingly being used to manage bipolar disorder. Studies that used gabapentin in bipolar disorders are evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: From the data presented, gabapentin cannot be recommended for treatment of bipolar disorder. Further studies are required to determine whether gabapentin has any role in the management of bipolar disorder.
