What Are The Side Effects Of Gabapentin?
I am questioning the use of Gabapentin for neuropathy for nerve pain when a person has had both hips replaced. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? I am not on any meds but drink a veggie drink every day plus take vitamin supplements. I am experiencing severe sharp pain on the top of my right foot and toes usually when sitting.

Hello,
First of all, Gabapentin drug itself used for neuropathy pain. So, it does not cause pain.
The common side effects associated with Gabapentin are:
- Dizziness, drowsiness and tiredness
- Headache
- Dry mouth and constipation
- Sometimes loss of coordination
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Hiren Hirpara
