Additional Information:

• Gapentin is used to treat people who are in detox treatment from alcohol withdrawal and cocaine withdrawal, and can be prescribed for insomnia, bipolar disorder, and restless legs syndrome. The medication also is prescribed for off-label purposes, including anxiety. It can be taken in capsule or tablet form, or as an oral solution. Gabapentin affects the brain and the nervous system and works to stabilize the electrical activity in the brain. Those who abuse gabapentin may take it with other medicines, including opioids and anti-anxiety medications, to experience relaxation or a sense of calm, intense pleasure, and a high that some have described as like that of marijuana. People who use alcohol with gabapentin may feel dizzy or increased sleepiness.
