Hi
Thanks for your query.
I have searched literature and found one study that mentions gabapentin induced urinary incontinence. You can find the study at following link:
https://www.yyyyy.yyyye.nih.gov/yyyyyyy/0000
There are few more studies listed but detailed literature is not open for access to all. The links are as follows:
https://www.yyyyyy.nlm.yyy.gov/yyyyyy/0000

Gabapentin is also known to cause oedema, blood glucose fluctuation and urinary tract infection. Any of them can also indirectly cause urinary incontinence.
Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
