Published: December 2003

Older anticonvulsants have been used to manage both chronic pain and bipolar disorders. As the armamentarium of anticonvulsants increases, the role of the newer agents for pain or mood disorders is uncertain. This paper summarizes the clinical data available with gabapentin, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, tiagabine and topiramate for bipolar disorder and lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, tiagabine and topiramate for neuropathic pain.
