Using a controlled substance "off label" is a whole different ball game than using a noncontrolled substance, such as Neurontin (gabapentin) off label. It is totally illegal for your doc to use Marinol off label. He/she can not only lose their license and career for which they've worked their tail off for a minimum of eleven years, but go to jail for such an offense as well. Neurontin is actually an anticonvulsant, or more aptly put, a neuromodulatory med that has a number of beneficial "off label" uses. There is a fair amount of research in using a number of anticonvulsants in bipolar. Anticonvulsants are the top choice in treating bipolar other than lithuim. Lamictal (lamotrigine) is my all time favorite.
I wish you well in finding the right med for you.
