Used For:

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant and nerve pain medication that is used for:

  • Neuropathic pain: Gabapentin is commonly prescribed for nerve pain caused by conditions like diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia (pain after shingles), and other types of nerve damage.
  • Seizure control: It is used as an adjunctive therapy for partial seizures in adults and children aged 3 years and older.
  • Fibromyalgia: Helps in managing widespread pain and tenderness associated with fibromyalgia.
  • Restless legs syndrome (RLS): Gabapentin is sometimes used off-label to alleviate the discomfort associated with RLS.
  • Anxiety (off-label use): In some cases, it is prescribed off-label for anxiety disorders.

Gabapentin works by affecting the transmission of nerve signals in the brain, helping to control seizures and relieve nerve pain.

Side Effects:

  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness or fatigue
  • Unsteadiness or loss of coordination
  • Swelling in the hands or feet
  • Nausea
  • Weight gain
  • Dry mouth
  • Blurred vision

Less common but serious side effects may include:

  • Mood changes: Anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts.
  • Allergic reactions: Swelling of the face, lips, or throat; hives; or difficulty breathing.
  • Severe dizziness or sleepiness: Can increase the risk of falls, especially in older adults.
  • Breathing problems: Particularly when used with other central nervous system depressants like opioids, gabapentin can slow breathing.
  • Movement disorders: Uncontrolled shaking or jerky movements.
  • Memory problems: In some cases, gabapentin may impair short-term memory or cognitive function.

Precautions:

  • Kidney disease: Gabapentin is excreted by the kidneys, so people with kidney issues may require a dosage adjustment.
  • Suicidal thoughts: Like many anticonvulsants, gabapentin may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in some people. Close monitoring is recommended.
  • Alcohol or CNS depressants: Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants while taking gabapentin, as it may increase drowsiness, dizziness, or slow breathing.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Gabapentin should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. It can pass into breast milk, so consult a doctor if you are breastfeeding.
  • Driving or using machinery: Gabapentin can cause drowsiness and dizziness, so avoid activities requiring mental alertness until you know how it affects you.
