The number of states placing gabapentin on the controlled substance list or in their required monitoring program is growing and three more states are debating whether to add gabapentin as a controlled substance or to their mandated reporting programs (DE, NY, and WI). Gabapentin is frequently combined with other substances for the purpose of potentiating the effects of the drugs or achieving a “high.” Studies have identified various substances that are commonly abused in combination with gabapentin, including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, and other CNS depressants 13,14,15.

However, the FDA monitors gabapentin for potential misuse, particularly when combined with other central nervous system depressants. This oversight aims to balance its therapeutic benefits against abuse risks. Regional Variation JUSTIFICATION: Gabapentin (Neurontin) is a popular prescription drug that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for nerve pain and epilepsy treatment. However, through its mechanism of action, the drug boosts the effects of opioids to increase the euphoric effect.

This information will allow practitioners to better evaluate their patients' treatment with controlled substances and determine whether there may be abuse or non-medical use. Gabapentin isn’t a controlled substance according to the federal government. But several states have passed their own laws classifying gabapentin a schedule V (schedule 5) controlled substance. Combining gabapentin and opioids can be extremely dangerous. This bill reclassifies the drug gabapentin as a controlled substance in New York. It amends the public health law to add gabapentin to Schedule VI, which will require it to be monitored through the state's prescription monitoring program.
