In my state gabapentin isn't controlled but it is some level below that where they monitor it. However I've never had trouble getting mine (1800 mg/day) and my dose has been going up nearly every month lately and my pdoc is fine with that. So at least here it's not a problem yet. I hope that stays true for others. I don't think they even have evidence that it is addictive. I'll ask my pdoc next time I talk to her.

I think maybe they monitor how much the provider is prescribing? So if they are prescring 3200 mg to everyone they look into that but not general usage?
