The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cyanostane and Gabapentin in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Cyanostane and Gabapentin

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Gabapentin and Cyanostane in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Cyanostane at all — not against Gabapentin, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Gabapentin’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Cyanostane. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Gabapentin’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on
  • Thoughts of self-harm Worth acting on
  • Severe muscle breakdown Worth acting on
  • Memory problems Worth acting on
  • Low sodium Worth acting on
  • Unsteadiness Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • High blood sugar Worth acting on
  • Confusion Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Gabapentin. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 361,481 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Gabapentin that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Cyanostane’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Cyanostane side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Cyanostane has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Gabapentin page

“Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise) calms overactive nerves, which means it already slows your nervous system down, and that is exactly what 78 of the 106 supplements on this list also do. So the dominant risk here is sedation stacked on sedation, extra drowsiness at best and dangerously slowed breathing at worst, and with seven entries ra…”

About Cyanostane

What is Cyanostane?

  • Muscle building
  • Strength gains
  • Body recomposition
  • Athletic performance

Cyanostane (often sold as 'Cyanostane Rx') is not a true dietary supplement or herb — it is marketed as a so-called 'prohormone' or designer anabolic steroid product. These products are not approved as supplements, may be illegal, and carry real risks of liver and hormonal harm, so we cannot recommend their use.

Tablets, capsules (sold as a bodybuilding 'supplement')

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Cyanostane is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Cyanostane record says about it on its own.

Cyanostane: dosing

There is no established, safe, or recommended dose for Cyanostane because it is not an approved supplement or medicine. A health professional can help you understand the risks and check on your liver and hormone health.

About Gabapentin

What Is Gabapentin Used For?

Brand names: Neurontin, Gralise

Gabapentin (brands include Neurontin, Relgaabi, Gabarone, Gralise, and Horizant) is primarily used to manage postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) — the nerve pain that lingers after a shingles outbreak — in adults. Neurontin, Relgaabi, Gabarone, and gabapentin capsules, tablets, and oral solution are also used as add-on therapy for partial onset seizures (a type of epilepsy) in adults and children aged 3 and older.

Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil extended-release tablet) has two specific approvals: treatment of moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) in adults, and management of postherpetic neuralgia in adults. Horizant is not recommended for people who need to sleep during the day and stay awake at night. Gralise is approved only for postherpetic neuralgia and cannot be substituted for other gabapentin products due to its different release profile.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Gabapentin

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (361,481 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 24,972 reports
Nausea 22,728 reports
Diarrhea 18,114 reports
Headache 17,897 reports
