Prescription drugs can be as addictive as illegal drugs. With this type of addiction, withdrawal can be just as dangerous as using it in the first place without proper medical supervision. Conventin is a medication prescribed to treat post-herpetic neuralgia, a condition involving pain that continues after shingles, and to help treat some types of seizures. Conventin is also used off-label for many concerns, including seizures during drug and alcohol withdrawal. 3
Also known by the brand name Neurontin, gabapentin’s specific mechanism of action is unknown. It is similar in structure to GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that inhibits activity in the central nervous system, but does not affect GABA uptake, breakdown, or binding.

The greater a person’s dependence on Conventin, the more severe the withdrawal may be. When withdrawal begins, its severity and how long it lasts is affected by how long a person takes the drug and how well their body adapts to their presence.

Conventin side effects
Conventin is a powerful drug that can have serious side effects. To make sure this medicine is not putting you at risk, it is important that you check in with your doctor at regular visits to make sure this medicine is right for you. Conventine generally lists a series of warnings, which include:
The risk of a serious allergic reaction may involve multiple organs, including the liver or kidneys. If you have more than one of the following symptoms, you should see your doctor right away: fever, rash, swollen or tender lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin, unusual bleeding or bruising, or yellowing of the eyes and skin.
Conventin can cause vision changes or affect motor and cognitive skills. Be sure to assess how the drug affects you before you drive, operate machinery, or participate in any activities that could be dangerous if you are not alert.
In some cases, Conventin can cause people to become agitated or irritable, have sad or hopeless thoughts, or be nervous, anxious, or hostile. It can also worsen depression or cause suicidal thoughts. If you notice these symptoms in yourself, you should contact your doctor. Conventin will enhance the effect of alcohol and other central nervous system depressants, which means medicines that make you sleepy or less alert. This can include allergy medicine, cold medicine, sedatives, tranquilizers, hypnotics, pain medicine or prescription narcotics, epilepsy medicine, muscle relaxants, and narcotics.
Stopping the use of Conventin without a doctor’s supervision can cause sudden attacks. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount of Conventin before taking you off the medication completely. You will also need to let any doctor or dentist think that you are taking Conventin. You should refrain from taking any other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor, including prescription and nonprescription medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
What Causes Conventin Withdrawal? (Conventin Withdrawal Symptoms)
Conventin affects levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which means that users will experience withdrawal symptoms from the drug when they stop using it. In less than 3 weeks of use, users will develop a physical dependence on it and stopping the drug will result in withdrawal symptoms. This does not mean that people will continue to necessarily crave or seek the drug, but it does mean that the body will react to the absence of the drug. Conventin discontinuation symptoms can range from harmless to fatal depending on the dose, how long the medication is used, and any pre-existing medical conditions.
While Conventin is not a controlled substance, taking Conventin without a doctor’s supervision is just as dangerous as stopping the medication without consulting your doctor. Misuse of Conventin, especially if it is mixed with opioids, can increase the chance of a fatal overdose.
