I found only this one ref in my CSR files, but if you can get hold of it, it might lead you to others: Chana P et al; Mov Disord 1997;12:608: Following an earlier report, they tried gabapentin on 7 patients and found it helpful against most PD symptoms. Since gabapentin has no affinity for D1, D2, glutamatergic, or cholinergic receptors, they haven't a clue about how it works. Cheers, Joe J. R.
