I am being prescribed Gabapentin. Does this medicine prevent me from holding a first or second class medical?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Prevents you from holding any medical. https://www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/gabapentin-timeoff-requirements.101756/
If you can discontinue, you potentially could get a medical, but it depends on why it was prescribed.
Do you already have a medical?
I assume you are not disclosing the use of Gabapentin.It will lapse at the end of July. Have one scheduled for August.

If you are using it due to nerve damage issues (sorry, that's gotta suck), then dropping it would pave the way to a legitimate medical (at least per the thread quoted above "Letter from your prescribing doc saying what it's for, and that you have been off for 60 days.....If you have painful neuropathy, it also needs to say that your peripheral sensation is adequate for driving.")
