Gabapentin/nuerontin can be addictive. People abuse high doses of it.
I am prescribed it for nerve damage caused by diabetes. I don't care for how it makes me feel so I only take it if in severe pain. It causes me to have crazy dreams. I also received it in rehab.
It's not a narcotic like Percocet, Loratab etc nor a benzodiazapime like Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium etc.
