What Experts Say

Gabapentin calms overactive nerve signalling, which relieves pain from damaged or irritated nerves and helps control certain types of seizures when added to other treatment.

The dose is usually started low and increased gradually, since this reduces side effects like dizziness and drowsiness while the body adjusts.

It should never be stopped suddenly, even in people without epilepsy, since abrupt stopping can trigger withdrawal effects or seizures. Combining it with opioid painkillers needs particular caution, as together they can cause dangerous drowsiness and slowed breathing.
