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 was wondering about bad dreams taking gabapentin? My Dad (95 yrs. old) has been on a 100 mg. dose for 2 weeks and in the last 2 days he has had dreams that seem so real to him. He even hit his lifeline button during the night. His mind is usually very sharp.
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic. This is not common but is reported side effect of gabapentin and there is no specific treatment. All he can do is to switch medication or reduce dosage of it. I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
