Is it true that taking gabapentin lowers the seizure threshold in people with epilepsy?
Unclear. No retrieved source directly measures gabapentin's effect on seizure threshold. Several sources show gabapentin is an effective antiseizure drug used in epilepsy, which only indirectly weighs against the claim that it lowers the seizure threshold.
