What Causes Blurred Vision, Eye Redness And Swollen Eyelids After Taking Gabapentin?

I have been taking Gabapentine at bedtime. 200 to 300 migrms. I have been having some blurred vision, redness in eyes and very swollen almond shaped eyelids. I believe this is a side effect and should stop taking it. Taking it for back pain that shoots nerve pain down my legs. Have had car accidents that hurt my low back and I have degenerative disk disease. I am 69. I believe I should stop taking Gabapentine. Can you give me some information that may help me decide what to do? Thank you. My email is : YYYY@YYYY
