Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My doctor just prescribed gabapentin for fibromyalgia. He said that my recent bloodwork did not show RA factor. I have been diagnosed with RA and osteo arthritis in 1979. I am concerned about the side affects. I am not anxious or depressed. I work part time. I need to drive to work, and I live alone. I am concerned about starting this medication.
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. The most common side effects of Gabapentin are: -dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, tired feeling; -nausea, diarrhea, constipation; -blurred vision; -headache; -breast swelling; -dry mouth; or. -loss of balance or coordination. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
