Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Can someone explain to me why users of gabapentin worry enough about getting addicted to the drug. When I look it up the info I have found says it is not addictive. Am I missing something?

Yes, I'd like to know also!!! I've been on Gabapentin about 3 months. 2700mg total a day now. It helps and it makes me a little loopy. But my research also shows no addictive aspects. Its is not a narcotic.
I also smoke marijuana with Gabapentin and I am trying Cat's Claw which is a vine from South America which helps arthritis and neuropathy. Some whiskey at night too!

Cheers, Jill

No you’re not missing anything.
I haven’t heard or read anything saying that Gabapentin was addicting.
I was on it for several years, and it actually didn’t help my CIDP.

Continue reading. Even on Google, it is listed as addictive with many short and long-term effects following its discontinuation.
