Gabapentin is not metabolized by the liver, and is excreted whole by the kidney. This reduces many metabolic side effects when other drugs are used with it. Doctors know this and often prescribe it in combinations. (many drugs will interfere with each other --increasing or decreasing effectiveness or chance for overdosing----but gabapentin is safer in this regard.)
It will however, increase sedative effects, when the other drug is also sedating.
