Gabapentin in some individuals may cause dependence.
I recommend, if you decide to go ahead and try this drug, which is a prescription medication only, you will have to see a Dr. perhaps a specialist like a Neurologist, well, the way I see it, this medication is a bit risky just to treat tension headaches and in my opinion there are safer medications which do not cause dependence and may help you just as well, but that is only my advice, at the end of the day, you have to decide.
