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.
I have been taking 600 mg of Gabapentin each night for sleep for about 12 years and I m concerned about long-term side affects. I m 69 years old, in good health and lead an active life. I am self-employed and deal with a lot of stress which causes me to not sleep well without a sleep aid. Should I be concerned about continued use of Gabapentin?
