Gabapentin's (Neurontin) elimination half-life is 5 to 7 hours. From what I've heard, most medical experts agree that it can take roughly 5 half lives for a drug to be completely out of your system. For Gabapentin, this can mean that it may remain in your system for up to or around 35 hours after your last dose, which is relatively short compared to many other drugs.

Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, drowsiness,fatigue, weight gain, and peripheral edema (swelling of extremities); these mainly occur at higher doses, in the elderly.

Other side effects such as insomnia, restlessness, agitation, anxiety, disorientation, confusion, light sensitivity, diaphoresis, headaches, palpitations, hypertension, chest pain, and flu-like symptoms, are all reportedly related to withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing Gabapentin.

You can read more information about this drug by visiting the page for Gabapentin Details.

I hope this helps to answer your question!
