What Causes Dizziness While On Gabapentin?
I am taking 300 mg gabapentin, 3 times daily. A week ago I spent the week in hospital diagnosed with diverticulitis. Within a short time of taking this medication I feel dizzy and light headed. I have difficulty concentrating and remembering simple things like names of people I know. I have been on this medication for 8 days now. Will this go away or should I ask for a lower dose?
