Question: I was diagnosed with having moderate cervical degenerative disc disease which my symptoms are left arm pain and random tingling/numbness of the left arm and I have started the Gabapentin 300mg last night and this morning I was unable to go to work, I feel as though I am drunk (I do not drink any alcohol) I'm feel off balance. I took the first pill at 7pm and another at 3am and again this morning at 11am. I also stayed in bed after taking them and finally dragged myself out of bed at 1pm this afternoon. I am still feeling a bit off balance, tired and I feel as though my body is "desensitized". Could this be a side effect of the drug? Is this normal when first starting this med? Or is this something I should call my doctor about? Well it has now been 24 hours since I started taking this med and Now I am nauseous, throwing up and have an upset stomach. What I am going through now seems to be worse than the pain I am dealing with and through all this my arm still hurts. Will this get better as I get used to the meds or can I stop taking them until I can talk to my doctor in two days from now?
