Many medicines can interfere with absorption. May be gabapentin is one of then. Are you taking it at least 4 hours away from your thyroid meds? The usual rule is to keep any medicines 2 hours away from thyroid meds. And some need 4 hours like Vit D, Calcium and the Pill and HRT so leave a long gap until you have further info. I think the best person to as is the Pharmacist and if they don't know they are more likely to look into it for you.
