Anyone who's had chronic pain or sometimes just pain to begin with has been given gabapentin. The doctor's literally give it out like candy. I tried it twice and my brain has never been the same. I had so many problems. I know people who were given it for cancer related nerve pain. The doctors will literally do anything but given an actual pain medication
We actually call it garbagepentin. Research any medications before you take them
A 2025 study published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine examined 26,416 adults with chronic low back pain and found an association between gabapentin prescriptions and later cognitive problems. Patients who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions had a 29% higher incidence of dementia and an 85% higher incidence of mild cognitive impairment compared with matched patients who were not prescribed the medication.
The association was particularly strong among adults aged 18–64. In this group, those prescribed gabapentin had a 110% higher incidence of dementia and a 150% higher incidence of mild cognitive impairment compared with those not prescribed gabapentin. Researchers also observed higher incidence with more frequent prescriptions and recommended monitoring patients for cognitive changes. Importantly, this was an observational study, so the findings show an association and do not prove that gabapentin itself causes dementia.
