Hello,
Dizziness and drowsiness are common gabapentin side effects. Doctors usually advise patients to take these medicines at night so the dizziness on daytime can be avoided. I suggest you talk to your doctor regarding this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
