This is a known side effect of gabapentin.

Gabapentin may cause psychosis/schizophrenia (mental disorder involving severe symptoms such as hallucinations, loss of touch with reality) (uncommon).
This drug may also cause the following symptoms that are related to psychosis/schizophrenia:• Hallucinations (uncommon)
• Neurosis - term no longer in use (rare). (when the drug is applied topically - to the skin, eyes, etc) http://doublecheckmd.com/EffectsDeta...12968&eid=1195
