Gabapentin?

Been on that myself. Would never give it to my cats.

It's actually a really effective drug to calm cats, among other animals. I always give it to my orange boy because he panics whenever he's in his transporter. On gabapentin he just chills in there, doesn't have elevated heart rates and doesn't cry.
