Who qualifies for Gabapentin

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Gabapentin is safe and effective for you. Gabapentin is primarily prescribed for nerve pain (neuropathic pain) and seizures. Conditions often treated include diabetic neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain after shingles), and as an add-on for partial seizures. The doctor will assess your medical history, current medications, and symptoms to determine if Gabapentin is the right treatment.

What Gabapentin actually does (and doesn't do)

Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that helps manage nerve pain and seizures. It works by affecting specific calcium channels in your nerve cells, which reduces the release of neurotransmitters involved in pain signals and seizure activity. It's not a painkiller for all types of pain, nor does it cure underlying conditions. Instead, it helps to manage symptoms, improving your quality of life. Realistic timelines for effect vary by individual, but many patients report symptom improvement within a few weeks of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Gabapentin can have side effects. Common ones include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, and swelling. More serious, but rare, side effects can include mood changes or thoughts of self-harm. It's crucial to discuss any side effects with your doctor. Never stop Gabapentin abruptly, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, or nausea. Your doctor will advise on how to safely taper off the medication if needed.
