I'm also bipolar and have been on neurontin (and others) for about 2 1/2 years. Side efects I've seen are droowsiness, and possibly the double vision I now have, but I'm on 2600mg, a bit of a high dose. On the plus side, I believe that this drug is not metabolized by the liver, which would be a plus for you. It's a fairly benign drug. Good luck with it.
