Gabapentin works by calming overactive nerve signals that cause pain or seizures. Most patients start on a low dose that is gradually increased under medical supervision.

The full pain relieving effect can take several days to a few weeks to develop. Doses should never be stopped suddenly, since this can trigger withdrawal symptoms or seizures.

Drug Interactions

• Mood Changes: A small number of patients on anticonvulsants report mood changes or thoughts of self harm, requiring prompt reporting to a doctor.
• Kidney Impairment: Dose adjustment is necessary in patients with reduced kidney function.
• Drowsiness: Driving or operating heavy machinery is not recommended until the effect of this medicine is known.
• Respiratory Depression: Combined use with opioids or other sedatives can slow breathing, especially in elderly patients.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use should be discussed with a doctor, since safety data is limited.
