Opiate medications are known to cause itching. For me, even on a low dose of opiate drug, I had extreme itching, tore up skin on my arm till it was bloody. Gabapentin is not known to cause itching, but opiates are.

Opiates, especially at higher doses, can cause itching all over the body, along with constipation. High price to pay for some pain relief.

But gabapentin - never heard of problems with itching, but it should be a Google search away from some answers, or insight. Gabapentin has made me feel, I don't know, like fuzzy all over. Hard to explain. I stopped taking it.
