Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
First of all, dont be nervous, relax.
Neurontin which contains gabapentin is a very good drug for sciatica pain.
Nightmares, delusion etc though very rare but still might happen with initial use. However, it is not serious and gets normal with regular use. It might not even be associated with your dream, could have been a coincidence.
So, in any case, discontinuation of the drug is not suggested unless there is severe side effects.
I would suggest regular use for 7 days, if the problem still persists, you can discontinue and consult your treating doctor.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
