Lightbulb The new gabapentin:

We have a recent post on this subject, gabapentin enacarbil:

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread162932.html

This drug has be recently approved for RLS and had been in the pipeline for a LONG time. It does not at this time have FDA approval for either epilepsy, or chronic pain however, because studies were not submitted for those conditions.

I don't expect that many if any insurance plans will pay for this
for off label use for anything other than RLS.

If anyone here does try this drug, I think we all would like to
see if it helps, or not. So please share that experience here.
