I have taken it for many years to ameliorate the EPS side effects of antipsychotics, with great success. As a side bonus, it has been shown to improve sleep architecture.
I will respectfully disagree with you.....based on the list of possible side effects to gabapentin given by the Mayo Clinic....this is hardly a list that belongs to a benign medication profile. My vet wouldn't even prescribe it long term for my dog because of the side effects.
