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.
