Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYMost people who take gabapentin don't have too much trouble with side effects. The most common complaints (usually not too severe) are:
If you notice any of these problems, call the doctor. Sometimes the doctor can help by changing the amount of gabapentin prescribed or when you take it. Don't stop taking gabapentin or change the amount you take without your doctor's guidance.
Some people who take gabapentin actually feel that their mood and sense of well-being is improved. Doctors are exploring whether it can be used to treat disorders like depression and anxiety.
People who have just started taking gabapentin (or who have just started taking a larger amount) should be careful during activities that might be dangerous, until they know whether they are having any side effects.
Allergic reactions
There do not appear to be any allergic reactions to gabapentin.
