This medicine may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors, such as feeling sad or hopeless, getting upset easily, or feeling nervous, restless, or hostile. Side effects sometimes occur because of a combination of medicines you're taking Gabapentin doesn't generally interact with other medicines But antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium can affect the way your body absorbs gabapentin To avoid this issue, be sure to take gabapentin and antacids at least two hours apart. What i have noticed since taking the gabapentin is that the symptoms don't seem to lessen when i am well rested and not overly stressed
I have also noticed that sometimes, especially when laying down, swallowing takes effort. Side effects for me on gabapentin did not include any weight gain Mine were more typical such as drowsiness, unsteadiness on feet when first getting up and foggy thinking. According to a large scale observational study published in the journal regional anesthesia & pain medicine, patients who received frequent gabapentin prescriptions were significantly more likely to develop dementia and/or mild cognitive impairment (mci). Gabapentin is a nonlinear drug used for focal aware & focal impaired and bilateral tonic clonic seizures It’s probably now more often used for various nerve pain than seizures, just a guess really.
But yes, please consult your doctor and see what they say. To complicate matters, i had an extremely bad case of shingles that lasted 7 weeks Lately i have been extremely fatigued and uncoordinated in the morning I'm trying to figure out if this is a long lasting side effect of shingles or gabapentin At any rate, this could perhaps explain why, in any individual person, gabapentin may be linked to tinnitus even if there is no biological reason why it might be, or not a known or common side effect.
