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.
Hi my name is rafael, and im just curious about the side effects of gabapentin, because i just took a high dose of gabapentin and i feel really tired and have some loss of coordination and i also have sore muscles, could all this be side effects of gabapentin?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It depends how Gabapentin has you taken. All the symptoms you mentioned may be due to Gabapentin overdoses. You may feel confused, disoriented, tired and sleepy. A headache, loss of breathing and sore muscle will suggest to you to go to primary care if you have taken too many tablets as you may have serious problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Elona Dashi
