Question:

How doeses Gabapentin work and is it a safe drug?

It's anti-spasmodic and calms the nervous system. But is it addictive?


Answers:

Gabapentin is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin relieves pain by changing the way the body senses pain. I would think it poses a moderate risk of addiction since it does alter the way the body senses pain.
