The generic name for Neurontin is gabapentin. It is an anticonvulsant drug used to treat seizures. Pain specialists also prescribe it for nerve pain. It is chemically similar to a neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), but does not act as GABA.

A very rare side effect of gabapentin is increased libido.

Neurontin is the go-to medication for nerve pain. It has been around for many years and is prescribed quite often, especially in cases of chronic and progressive neuropathy like that experienced by people with Diabetes.
