Best Answer

Gabapentin is primarily a seizure drug, which can also be used to treat neuropathic pain and vasomotor symptoms. Gabapentin could help ease these symptoms if they occur as part of Bipolar disorder. However, it is not primarily a bipolar drug and will not stabilize moods like lithium or antidepressants.
