In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that it is associated with an increased risk of suicidality; however, published studies have arrived at conflicting conclusions. The objective of this work is to assess the association between the use of gabapentin and suicidality in a cohort of adult patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BPD), and to determine if the risk is greater relative to patients prescribed lithium. 000002973 540__ $$fCC BY 000002973 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002973 650__ $$aBipolar Disorder$$015590 000002973 650__ $$aSuicidal Ideation$$039477 000002973 650__ $$aGABA Agents$$031007 000002973 650__ $$aSelf-Injurious Behavior$$029356 000002973 650__ $$aLithium$$021576 000002973 650__ $$aSuicide, Attempted$$026556 000002973 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002973 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000002973 7001_ $$aLeith, Wendy$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002973 7201_ $$aFreeman, Michael$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002973 8564_ $$95ec7637a-93f7-4134-9136-b5a78fc268b8$$s239217$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2973/files/3747_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$212f014016574fab193c7cce9cf253a55$$31 000002973 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0z/70/8w/52/0z708w525 000002973 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2973$$pstudent-work 000002973 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
