If you do a search for neurontin or gabapentin you will get some good information, including from the manufacturer, I believe.
It does seem to be without side effects for the most part. Obviously, any medication can cause a reaction in someone, since we all have a different chemical make up.
My psydoc says neurontin stabilizes moods, both anxiety and depression, although the primary use seems to be for the more manic symptoms. I am not clasically bipolar so she is using it more for anxiety type symptoms. I would think it might help Type A personality since it works on the nerves to quiet them down. Might be worth looking into.
