It varies with each patient - though Neurontin is normally used as a drug for neuralgia and seizures, there has been some evidence that it helps augment pain medication used by nerve pain sufferers. That's why it's often prescribed along with pain drugs. In my own personal experience, it never did anything that was effective or even noticeable.

Does Ibuprofen neutralize gabapentine?

THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO. Ibuprofen (Advil) is an over the counter pain killer and anti-inflammatory. Gabapentin (Neurontin) is a prescription anticonvulsant and also a pain killer used for nerve or certain back pain. (Also prescribed for migraine headaches and bipolar disorder.) One will not "neutralize" the other. There are no warinings about taking them together. If you are concerned, ask your pharmacist to give you a print-out of each medication. Pharmacists are a good place to look for possible drug-drug interactions.

Are Neurontin and xanax the same?

No, they are very different. Look up gabapentin on wikipedia.org for information on Neurontin (often used for neuropathic pain).Look up alprazolam on wikipedia.org for info on Xanax (often used for anxiety or inability to sleep) Additionally, gabapentin started life as an antiepileptic, but displays effective pain control properties on nueralgias, including nerve pain caused by Herpes sp. virus. Also used for treatment of multiple sclerosis and migraines, Neurontin or gabapentin is, as the first answer states, very different in pharmacology, pharmicokinetics and function from alprazolam.
