Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. This is gabapentin. Gabapentin is used to help relieve nerve pain, but, full effects may take a few weeks. It can also be used with other medicines to control seizures. At first, you could feel drowsy, dizzy, or have problems with coordination. So, don't do activities that require you to be alert, like driving, until you know how it affects you. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking it, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. But, don't suddenly stop taking it unless your doctor says it's okay. To reduce side effects and interactions, avoid alcohol, and tell your doctor and pharmacist all of your medications, including antacids. In rare cases, serious side effects can occur, so call your doctor right away if you have unexplained changes to your body, especially a fever, swollen glands, or a rash. You should also seek immediate help if you notice any concerning or sudden changes in mood, feelings, or behavior. For best results, continue taking gabapentin, because it can help relieve your pain or control your seizures.
