Gabapentin (Neurontin) Without PrescriptionGabapentin (Neurontin) is a second-generation antiepileptic medication. It affects chemicals and nerves in the body that cause the seizures and some types of pain. Neurontin is widely used as "off-label" prescription (not FDA-approved uses) for acute and chronic pain (especially neuropathic pain), migraine headaches, bipolar disorder, anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, postmenopausal hot flashes, and chronic fatigue. Off-label prescriptions are common for a number of drugs and are perfectly legal (if not always appropriate). Doctors prescribe Gabapentin rather than established drugs because for some people the better known, but older medications, are less effective or have unacceptable side effects.

Drug Information
Neurontin was originally approved in the US by the FDA in 1993 for use as an adjunctive medication to control partial seizures caused by epilepsy (effective when added to other antiseizure drugs). In 2002, the medication was approved for postherpetic neuralgia (nerve related pain caused by herpes virus or shingles). How safe is Neurontin? Neurontin is quite safe and has relatively low risk of side effects. The only known contraindication to gabapentin is hypersensitivity to the drug. The medication is not metabolized and passes through the body unchanged, so it is safe even in people with liver impairment.
