Brief Summary   The present study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group study to identify the optimal preemptive analgesic dose of gabapentin. I hypothesize that 300 mg of gabapentin is as effective efficacious as 600 mg of gabapentin for preemptive analgesia following lumbar laminectomy under general anesthesia. The primary outcomes to be measured are VAS score and consumption of rescue analgesic for the first 24 hours postoperatively. The secondary outcomes to be measured are Modified RSS and postoperative nausea and vomiting.
