Of course it is a mood stabilizer but it is showing some promise I understand in relieving depression when all other problems with side effects seem too obtrusive. You can read about it at Dr. Ivan Goldberg's Depression Central address: www.psycom.net/depression.central.gabapentin.html

Viagra. Wellbutrin made me horny for the first time in over a decade. Unfortunately it didn't last. Aparrently it was a shortlived side effect rather than a true benefit of the med. I don't know sho is now more depressed---my husband or me!
