Gabapentin and bone loss? Myth or truth?

[Dove111]

Does anyone know if Gabapentin has been concluded to contribute to bone loss or not? I've been reading conflicting reports.

I've been on them for years and I think it's why I got Osteoporosis that and other things

Hi Dove111, there are a number of anticonvulsant medicines that can cause bone loss. We list some of them here (gabapentin is not among them, but our list is not necessarily comprehensive): americanbonehealth.org/bone...

Some of these medicines affect how your body uses vitamin D. You might ask your health care provider about potential bone loss as a side effect and what dose of vitamin D you should take.
