emmy its not a narcotic. its not even a true pain med. it can be used for irritation in nerve endings, like diabetic neuropathy, shingles etc.
Hello, Emmy! How are you?
No, as the other poster stated, it is not a narcotic of any type, nor is it an analgesic.
Gabapentin is actually classified by the FDA as an anticonvulsant that is also approved to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weight changes.
Is there anything else I can help with?
