Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Gabapentin is mainly used for seizures and is also taken by diabetics to relieve nerve pain. Yes you can take gabapentin 100 mg preferably at bed time because it can make you drowsy. If you have these symptoms more often i would suggest to meet your doctor. Thanks and Regards.
