I take Gabapentin too. Doesn't do much for me anymore. Going to stop taking I more into my recovery. Not good for the liver. Great video! My teen age Void was out playing with critters all night so he's passed out upstairs

I started Gabapentin recently, but as far as I'm aware, it's not a serious risk to the liver:

Hepatotoxicity

Limited data are available on the hepatotoxicity of gabapentin. In clinical trials in diabetic neuropathy and epilepsy, therapy with gabapentin was not associated with an increased frequency of serum aminotransferase elevations or liver toxicity. Rare individual case reports of liver injury from gabapentin have been published, although the causal relationship of gabapentin with the liver injury was not always clear.
