Hello,
If you are noticing dark urine you should definitely contact your doctor.
It may not necessarily be related to Gabapentin but it certainly needs to be investigated for the cause as it may be due to blood in urine, muscle damage, liver damage etc, urine and blood tests are needed to determine the cause.
I remain at your disposal for other questions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
