Geno,
It is most commonly used to control seizures. The other uses are for chronic pain syndromes (i.e., fibromyalgia) and as a mood stabilizer in psychiatry (usually with another mood stabilizer such as Lithium or Depakote being used to treat biplolar disorder). There also have been cases where it has been effective for ADHD in adults and children alone or in combination with psychostimulants. There have also been studies that show some efficacy for social anxiety and panic disorders. I take it for bipolar+ADHD+social phobia and it works on all three problems to some degree.
