My son took Gabapentin for several months (at age 9-10). He was taking it
for a mood disorder at the same time my mother was taking it for chronic
pain. He was taking three times the dose she was. We did a major
medication switch recently and he is no longer taking it. It was tapered to
stop and although he is obviously not a nursing infant, he had no noticeable
side effects (other than improved mood stability).
