Two adults in my household have been addicted to pain medications and are now on a a med called Seboxin (spelling?) to help them fight their addiction.

Is gabapentin a pain killer?
Gabapentin (generic) or Neurontin (brand name) is an anti-seizure medication. However, during human testing, some test subjects were persons who had Epilepsy but also Diabetes who had neuropathy -- nerve pain in the feet and legs that can cause numbness, burning, throbbing, and weird pain symptoms like pins and needle sensations. Diabetics reported a lessening of their neuropathy pain. As non-diabetic patients reported nerve pain after injury, accidents, trauma, surgery, or chemotherapy, doctors began treating this kind of pain with Neurontin / Gabapentin and found that most people tolerated it well at higher than usual doses. Some people take 2, 500 mg per day with few side effects. So although Gabapentin was originally made to prevent seizures, it is now more widely used to treat specific kinds of 'nerve' pain.
