No relationship: This makes no sense. This med is not associated with an increased risk of gout.

Yes: Your neurologist would not have suggested it if it was not ok.

Gout: I would be concerned about finding if something else was causing the gout attacks. Urine uric acid levels and check for dietary and other things.
