Does Gabapentin Cause Body Pain, Weight Gain And Water Retention?
I am lookig for the side effects of gabapentin. I am in a great deal of pain all over,. I can t sleep because of it. I am also gaining weight even though I am under a doctor s care and was losing weight. I seem to be retaining a lot of water. Are these all side effects?
Dizziness and drowsiness are common gabapentin side effects. Weight gain and uncoordinated movement are possible side effects. Water retention is not known as a possible side effect of gabapentin. I suggest you to check the kidney function and cardiac function for further evaluation.
