{ {configCtrl2.metaDescription ()}} Acute opioid intoxication in adults: mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and management. Summary table for emergent management included. Pharmacologic approaches for managing chronic non-cancer pain in adults, including treatment options and considerations. UpToDate UpToDate Postmortem toxicology tests detected gabapentin in almost 1 in 10 US overdose deaths between 2019 and 2020. In about half of the cases, a medical examiner or coroner ruled the drug was a cause of the death, according to a report from the CDC’s Division of Overdose Prevention. Gabapentin overdoses can be dangerous, especially when it’s used alongside other substances. Learn how to avoid a gabapentin overdose and what to do about one. Gabapentin is a medication used to treat nerve pain, seizures, and other conditions. Learn about its uses, side effects, and precautions. Overview of pharmacologic management of chronic pain in adults, including medication options and treatment strategies. These medications can cause lethargy or agitation in overdose, increase risk of death combined with opioids, and manifest a withdrawal syndrome. This topic will discuss the evaluation and management of gabapentinoid poisoning and withdrawal. A summary table to facilitate emergency management is provided (table 1). Gabapentinoid poisoning and withdrawal symptoms, including management strategies and clinical considerations, are discussed in this comprehensive resource. Get the latest information on Gabapentin overdose, including symptoms, treatment options, and more, from UpToDate, the trusted source for medical professionals. The most common symptoms reported after gabapentin ingestion include sedation, dizziness, and ataxia [24].

Gabapentinoids are commonly ingested in self-harm attempts and often misused for their sedative and euphoric properties.

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical manifestations and outcomes of gabapentin exposures reported to poison centers. Gabapentin toxicity should be considered one of the differential diagnoses of altered consciousness in patients with compromised renal function, even after a single dose. We report a 57-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and uraemia on regular Gabapentin is an anticonvulsive medication that received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1993 and has been available in generic form in the USA since 2004.

Expert opinion: Loperamide, gabapentin, and modafinil are becoming drugs of abuse, and as such, should be on the radar of healthcare providers.
