What Causes Frequent Urination And Sore Throat After Taking Gabapentin?

Two weeks ago I started taking gabapentin to relieve some arthritic pain and inflammation and some pain that may being caused by a pinched nerve in neck. BUT I am urinating frequently and now am also developing a sore throat. Are those possible side effects?

Hello
As you stated that ,you are taking GABAPENTINE for arthritic pain and inflammation & also for pinched nerve.
The side effects are somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, fatigue, dizziness,blurred vision, vertigo .
The tolerance develop to these side effects within 2 weeks ( and you are taking this tablet for 2 weeks ) , so need not to worry about sore throat and frequent urination .
So don't take tension , take regular treatment and within next 2-3 days you will get tolerance power for gabapentine.
But if symptoms still present then consult a physician and get his opinion for these symptoms.
Good luck.
