Gabapentin 600mg is a prescription medication used to manage nerve-related conditions and seizures. Though its exact mechanism is unclear, it’s believed to calm overactive nerves and alter pain signals.
Common Uses
- Neuropathic pain (e.g., postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy)
- Seizures, as an add-on treatment
- Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), off-label
- Anxiety disorders, off-label
Dosage
Your doctor will determine the correct dose. Gabapentin often starts at 300mg daily and increases as needed. For nerve pain or seizures, maintenance doses usually range from 900mg to 3600mg daily in divided doses. The 600mg tablet is typically immediate-release and may be taken 1–3 times a day, with or without food.
Precautions
Do not stop gabapentin suddenly, especially for seizures. Side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, swelling, weight gain, and mood changes. Avoid alcohol and driving until you know how it affects you. Let your doctor know about kidney issues, other medications, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
