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?
