Gabapentin 600 mg is a type of anticonvulsant and analgesic drug. It is used for the treatment of epilepsy and neuropathic pain, e.g. nerve pain (not anxiety). It was designed as an epilepsy medication, but was found to decrease the pain of neuropathy, most commonly a condition called Peripheral Neuropathy. Brand name: Neurontin. Gabapentin is the generic form. 100 mg is the lowest mg.
One unique aspect of Neurontin / Gabapentin is the wide range of dosing, from 100 mg two or three times a day for some patients, to over 2,000 mg a day in three divided doses for other people. The drug does not lend itself well to abuse. It is not apparently addictive. However, it can cause brain "buzzing" right before and after a dose. It is well tolerated by most people.
**IMPORTANT** - THIS DRUG MUST BE TAPERED - LIKE ALL ANTI-CONVULSANT DRUGS, IT CANNOT BE ABRUPTLY STOPPED OR IT CAN TRIGGER A SEIZURE (even if you never had a seizure before).
