Hi,
I would advise to reduce the dose of medicines that you are taking. Although the given symptom of dizziness is not due to Gabapentin, the present complaint of dizziness could be due to vestibular dysfunction or it could be due to some functional disorders.
You have not provided the complete information, else much better could have been advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
