Taken Gabapentin For One Week And Increased Dosage Which Was Not Tolerable. Swollen Hands And Feet, Still Dizzy. Is This Normal?
I've been on gabapentin 100mg 3x day for 1 wk...then increase to 200 mg 3xday. I couldn't tolerate the 200 3xday because of dizziness and balance control. Dr. said to stay on the 100 mg 3 x day so that's what I've been doing. I have swollen hands and feet, still dizzy but not as much as when on the 200mg 3xday. Is this common?

HI
Thank fro choosing HCM
If you are taking Gabapentine for epileptic surefire then the dose of this should be increased, and this is common,, but if you are taking it for other purpose which is not mentioned here, then it should be considered Have nice Day.
