Gabapentin Side Affects
Were you looking for information on Gabapentin Side Effects? Gabapentin side affects is a common misspelling of gabapentin side effects.
Common side effects of gabapentin include coordination problems, dizziness, fatigue, and nausea. In most cases, these problems are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated. Some gabapentin side effects, however, are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to your healthcare provider. These include an unexplained rash, trouble breathing, and significant coordination problems that do not improve with time.
If too much gabapentin is taken, drowsiness, double vision, slurred speech, and lethargy may result. These problems may be even more serious if this medication is combined with alcohol.
