FAQ
Which Gabapentin strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Gabapentin pages list 100mg, 300mg, 400mg, 600mg and 800mg tablets. Packs run from 30 up to 360 for 300mg and 400mg, and from 30 up to 180 for the other strengths. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
Can a large Gabapentin order be split for Hong Kong delivery?
Very large Gabapentin orders over 120 units may be split into several parcels. Every order ships in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing on the outside about the contents. Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days with online tracking.
What is another name for gabapentin?
Brand names for gabapentin include Neurontin, Gabantin, Gabapin and Gralise. Gabapentin tablets are a pure generic gabapentin product and are not any of those brands. Here, gabapentin can also be bought online as generic Neurontin.
How long does gabapentin take to work?
For nerve pain, gabapentin usually needs a few weeks of regular dosing before it makes a difference, because the dose is raised in steps rather than started at full strength. In epilepsy it works as part of a group of medicines rather than on its own, and the effect shows in how often seizures happen.
Can I drink alcohol with gabapentin?
A glass of wine is not forbidden, but gabapentin already makes some people drowsy and wobbly, and alcohol piles on top. Two drinks can feel like four. Skip the driving that evening, and go easy until you know how the tablets affect you.
What happens if I stop gabapentin suddenly?
Stopping suddenly can bring on withdrawal — anxiety, trouble falling or staying asleep, nausea, pain and sweating. If the tablets are being taken for epilepsy, seizures may also become more frequent. The dose is normally reduced in steps over a week or more instead.
Is gabapentin the same as Neurontin?
Neurontin is a brand name for gabapentin, so both listings hold the same medicine and are used for the same two jobs. The practical difference is the label and the range: Neurontin runs from 100mg to 600mg, while the gabapentin listing also comes in 800mg tablets.
Can I split a gabapentin tablet?
Some gabapentin tablets have a score line down the middle and can be broken along it for a half dose. Use the other half at your next dose and throw away halves left over after a few days; unscored tablets are meant to be swallowed whole.
About Gabapentin
What gabapentin tablets are for
Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant — a medicine that settles overactive nerve signalling, which is why it ends up in two quite different jobs. The first is nerve pain: the burning, stabbing or tingling kind that can follow shingles (postherpetic neuralgia), come with diabetes, or start after an injury. The second is epilepsy, where it is taken alongside other medicines to cut down the number of partial seizures. Several weeks of steady dosing is normal before nerve pain starts to ease.
Taking gabapentin three times a day
Most people split the day's gabapentin into three doses, keeping any two doses no more than 12 hours apart. Swallow each tablet with water; whether you have eaten makes no difference. Nobody starts at the full amount. The first doses are small, often the 100mg or 300mg tablets, and the total goes up in steps, with 600mg and 800mg tablets coming in once the daily amount is higher. Do not drop gabapentin all at once because you feel better. Sudden withdrawal can bring anxiety, broken sleep, nausea, pain and sweating, and if the tablets are controlling epilepsy, seizures may return more often. The dose is brought down gradually instead.
Side effects worth knowing about
Lots of people notice nothing at all. When something does show up it is usually mild and short-lived — sleepiness, tiredness, dizziness, an unsteady feeling on your feet — and tends to fade over the first few days. Swelling of the face, lips or throat, or difficulty breathing, needs urgent treatment. Unusual changes in mood or behaviour, including thoughts of self-harm, are serious and should not be ignored.
Alcohol, opioids and other sedatives
Alcohol, opioid painkillers, sleeping tablets and sedating antihistamines all pile on the drowsiness, and gabapentin taken with opioids can also slow breathing. A drink or two may feel stronger than expected.
Gabapentin or Neurontin?
Neurontin is the brand name for gabapentin, sold here as 100mg, 300mg, 400mg and 600mg tablets. This listing carries the same medicine under its ingredient name and goes up to 800mg, so it covers the wider strength range of the two. Pick the strength that matches your daily total, or choose Neurontin if you would rather have the brand name on the box.
