Is It Reasonable To Assume That Gabapentin Can Cause Significant Drug Interactions Or Side Effects?
Gabapentin is not significantly metabolised and is mainly excreted in the urine, is known for having a relatively low side effect profile, but why would it cause a reaction in a patient being treated for neuropathic pain?

well I used to take it with many narcotics and and gabo~ made me have serious emotional crazies~
i have been taking this for years for head pain and never had any affects
Gabapentin can only cause cognitive side effects as far as I know, such as memory loss. But such problems are only temporary and go away when you stop taking the drug.
A quote from Wiki: “Gabapentin’s most common side-effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities)[18]; these mainly occur at higher doses, in the elderly. Also, children 3–12 years of age were observed to be susceptible to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity.”
If it caused a reaction in a neuropathology patient, it is most likely a rare case. People get reactions from aspirin and tylenol all the time.
That depends on who is doing the reasoning!
only side effects are drowziness or muscle weakness. main interactions are with antacids. no big deal
neurontin has quite a few side effects and several drug interactions. you didn’t specify what your ‘reaction’ was. but if you are taking the medication for neuropathic pain, you are most likely taking another medication for this also. could cause increased sedative effect.
