How Gabapentin (Neurontin) works

Gabapentin (Neurontin) is an antiepileptic that's also used to help with nerve pain. It has a similar structure to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a chemical in the brain that calms nerves. It's not completely known how gabapentin (Neurontin) works to treat seizures or nerve pain, but it's thought to work by lowering the activation of nerves involved with causing nerve pain and seizures.

Pharmacist tips for Gabapentin (Neurontin)

pharmacist
  • Gabapentin (Neurontin) can raise the risk of suicidal thoughts. Contact your provider right away if you or your loved ones notice any new or worsening changes in your behavior or mood while taking the medication.

    • Gabapentin (Neurontin) commonly causes sleepiness and dizziness. Don't drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how this medication affects you.

      • Avoid drinking alcohol while taking gabapentin (Neurontin) because it can worsen side effects (e.g., drowsiness, dizziness).

        • Gabapentin (Neurontin) can interact with some commonly prescribed medications. Make sure to tell your provider and pharmacist about all of the medications you're taking before starting gabapentin (Neurontin). Some medications that interact with gabapentin (Neurontin) include benzodiazepines, anxiety medications, and opioid pain medications. These combinations with gabapentin (Neurontin) can raise your risk of side effects, such as sleepiness, dizziness, and dangerously slow breathing.

          • Medications containing aluminum or magnesium (e.g., multivitamins, Mylanta Maximum Strength) can lower the amount of gabapentin (Neurontin) that gets absorbed into your body, which can make the medication not work as well for you. Take gabapentin (Neurontin) at least 2 hours after taking a medication with aluminum or magnesium.

            • Don't change your dose or suddenly stop taking gabapentin (Neurontin) without talking to your provider first. Doing so can cause withdrawal symptoms like seizures, anxiety, and sleeping problems. Follow your provider's instructions to lower your dose slowly over a period of time to stop the medication completely.

              • You can take gabapentin (Neurontin) with or without food, but if it upsets your stomach, try taking it with food to help.

                • If you're taking the gabapentin (Neurontin) capsules, swallow the capsules whole with water. Don't crush, chew, or open the capsules.

                  • If you're taking the gabapentin (Neurontin) tablets, you can split the tablets where they're scored with a line in the middle of the tablet. Half-tablets not taken within 28 days of splitting in half should be thrown away.

                    • If you're taking gabapentin (Neurontin) liquid, make sure to use an oral syringe or medication dosing cup to measure out your dose. Don't use household spoons because they aren't accurate and might cause you to take the wrong dose.

                      • Store the liquid in the refrigerator in the original bottle it came in from the pharmacy.

                        faqs

                        Frequently asked questions about Gabapentin (Neurontin)

                        Is gabapentin (Neurontin) a controlled substance?
                        The federal government doesn't consider gabapentin (Neurontin) a controlled substance. However, gabapentin (Neurontin) has been shown to be potentually misused, such as causing a "high" when not used properly and when used at higher doses. Because of this risk, some states currently classify gabapentin (Neurontin) as a controlled substance (schedule V). Some other states don't classify gabapentin (Neurontin) as a controlled substance, but they do keep close track of gabapentin (Neurontin) dispensing using a prescription monitoring program. If you have questions about controlled substance laws in your state, it's best to talk to a local healthcare professional.
                        What's the difference between the available brands of gabapentin?
                        Neurontin is an immediate-release form of gabapentin that's approved for seizures and nerve pain and usuaully taken 3 times per day. It's available as a lower-cost generic tablet, capsule, and liquid. Gralise and Horizant are both extended-release brands of gabapentin that are taken once or twice per day and aren't available as lower-cost generics. Both Gralise and Horizant are used for nerve pain from shingles, but Horizant is also approved for restless legs syndrome. The three brands of gabapentin are not interchangeable, meaning their doses are not equal to each other and you can't substitute one product for another. Ask your provider or pharmacist if you aren't sure which brand of gabapentin you're taking to make sure you're using the medication safely and correctly so it can work as best as possible for your condition.
                        Does gabapentin (Neurontin) help with nerve pain from diabetes?
                        Gabapentin (Neurontin) is only FDA-approved to treat nerve pain from shingles and as an add-on treatment for seizures. But gabapentin (Neurontin) is sometimes prescribed off-label (not FDA-approved) for nerve pain from diabetes. In fact, guidelines published by the American Diabetes Association recommends gabapentin (Neurontin) as one of the first-choice options to ease nerve pain from diabetes. Ask your provider if you've questions about how well gabapentin (Neurontin) works to help with nerve pain.
                        How long does it take for gabapentin (Neurontin) to start working to treat nerve pain?
                        Gabapentin (Neurontin) starts to improve nerve pain within the first week, but it can take up to a month or longer to feel the full effects of the medication, especially because the dose is started low and then slowly raised over a long period of time. This is done to lower your risk for side effects, such as sleepiness and dizziness. Contact your provider if you feel gabapentin (Neurontin) isn't helping with your condition. Your dose might need to be raised or you might need to switch or add another medication.
                        Is gabapentin (Neurontin) safe to take while I'm pregnant?
                        There's limited research done about the safety of gabapentin (Neurontin) during pregnancy. One research study shows that gabapentin (Neurontin) doesn't seem to cause serious harm (except for a possible risk of heart problems) when taken by mothers during the first 3 months of pregnancy, nor does it seem to result in any major birth defects overall. But the research did show that babies born to mothers who took gabapentin (Neurontin) later on during pregnancy were at higher risk certain complications, such as premature birth or lower birth weight. If you're pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant, talk with your provider about the benefits and risks of taking gabapentin (Neurontin) during pregnancy. If you choose to take gabapentin (Neurontin) while pregnant, you're recommended to enroll in the North American Antiepileptic Drug (NAAED) Pregnancy Registry to monitor the safety of gabapentin (Neurontin) during your pregnancy.

Although rare, gabapentin (Neurontin) can also cause serious skin reactions, such as Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS).

                          Gabapentin (Neurontin) can cause extreme dizziness and sleepiness, which can lower your ability to think, react, and focus. Your risk might be higher is you're taking other medications that can cause you to feel sleepy (e.g., benzodiazepines, muscle relaxants, sleep medications).

                          Stopping gabapentin (Neurontin) suddenly can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures, anxiety, nervousness, and irregular heart rhythms.

                            Gabapentin (Neurontin) can cause you to have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself.
