Is gabapentin used to treat ADHD?

No, gabapentin is not typically used to treat ADHD. While gabapentin is effective in treating some conditions like peripheral neuropathic pain, postherpetic neuralgia, and epilepsy, it is not indicated for the treatment of ADHD. Stimulants like methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamine/dextroamphetamine (Adderall) are commonly used to manage symptoms of ADHD. These medications work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain that regulate attention and impulsivity.
