This medication is prescribed for several conditions including epilepsy, postherpetic neuralgia, and restless leg syndrome. Gabapentin comes in tablet, capsule, and a liquid oral solution form.<\/p>\n<p>Research has indicated that 95% of patients have been prescribed gabapentin for off-label uses. The off-label uses of gabapentin include:[2]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Treatment for seizures stemming from <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/alcohol-withdrawal-and-detox-programs\/\">alcohol withdrawal<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Attention deficit disorder (ADD)<\/li>\n<li>Bipolar disorder<\/li>\n<li>Migraines<\/li>\n<li>Complex regional pain syndrome<\/li>\n<li>Neuropathic pain<\/li>\n<li>Diabetic neuropathy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While gabapentin is not considered a controlled substance, many individuals abuse the medication.

This is extremely important for individuals who suffer from opioid use disorder, as gabapentin is commonly used to heighten the addictive effects of opioid drugs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Signs_of_Gabapentin_Abuse\"><\/span>The Signs of Gabapentin Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The risk for gabapentin addiction is low. However, this is not to say that gabapentin addiction does not occur. Gabapentin abuse is considered dangerous, as the potential for overdose is extremely high. This is because individuals must consume large amounts of the medication to experience the \u201ceuphoric high\u201d associated with gabapentin.<\/p>\n<p>The signs of gabapentin abuse may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Isolating from friends and family members to consume the drug<\/li>\n<li>Lying to doctors about symptoms to get a prescription for gabapentin<\/li>\n<li>Seeking multiple doctors to receive additional prescriptions of gabapentin<\/li>\n<li>Switching doctors when a gabapentin prescription or refill is refused<\/li>\n<li>Spending too much time obtaining, using, and recovering from the use of gabapentin<\/li>\n<li>Panicking when gabapentin is not readily available or when it runs out<\/li>\n<li>Experiencing heightened side effects of the drug, like double vision, loss of coordination, jerky movements, or memory loss<\/li>\n<li>Being unable to quit using gabapentin despite facing consequences<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Risks_of_Gabapentin_Abuse\"><\/span>The Risks of Gabapentin Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When an individual takes gabapentin frequently, they will have to continuously increase their dosage to experience the same effects. This is described as developing a tolerance to gabapentin. Once a person is tolerant to gabapentin, dependency is not too far behind.<\/p>\n<p>Gabapentin abuse is dangerous, posing many risks to individuals who misuse the medication, including overdose.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polysubstance_Abuse\"><\/span>Polysubstance Abuse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the main risks associated with gabapentin addiction is polysubstance abuse. Polysubstance abuse is defined as the consumption of two or more drugs at one time. Oftentimes, individuals partaking in polysubstance abuse mix two or more substances to produce a heightened effect of each drug.<\/p>\n<p>Gabapentin abuse poses a risk of polysubstance abuse because of how commonly it is mixed with opioids.\u00a0 Individuals mix the drugs to enhance the effects of opioids and avoid withdrawal symptoms associated with opioid addiction. This is extremely dangerous, as the mixture of these two drugs can become deadly.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overdose\"><\/span>Overdose<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Individuals may not realize that gabapentin has a high risk of overdose because of the loose laws surrounding this prescription medication. However, it is possible to overdose on gabapentin.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms of gabapentin overdose include:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2057\" src=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/gabapentin-overdose-symptoms-infographic.png\" alt=\"gabapentin overdose symptoms\" width=\"1000\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/gabapentin-overdose-symptoms-infographic.png 1000w, https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/gabapentin-overdose-symptoms-infographic-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/gabapentin-overdose-symptoms-infographic-768x319.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decreased muscle coordination<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty breathing<\/li>\n<li>Diarrhea<\/li>\n<li>Eyelids appearing droopy (ptosis)<\/li>\n<li>Inactivity or overexcitation<\/li>\n<li>Double vision<\/li>\n<li>Unusual patterns of speech<\/li>\n<li>Lethargy and sedation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, there is not a medication to reverse gabapentin overdose as there is for <a href=\"https:\/\/newjerseyaddictioninterventions.com\/new-jersey-is-combating-opioid-crisis-with-72000-doses-of-free-narcan\/\">opioid overdose<\/a>.
