What Causes Sleeplessness While On Gabapentin Along With Oxycodone And Tizanidine?
Hello, Gabapentin is one of the commonly used medication for chronic pain, it helps to modify the nerve response to the pain. These medications can all cause drowsiness so the combination would definitely cause excess sleepiness to occur. He should discuss the issues with his doctor to see if a different combination of medications can be used to help him with his side effects. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Michelle Gibson James
