Dear Gabapentine may cause dizziness,drowsiness,unsteadiness,memory loss, lack of coordination,difficulty speaking,viral infections,tremors,double vision,fever,unusual eye movements, and jerky movements.
If you deveoped gastritis you can take pantaprazole before breakfast along with it.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you with alternate drug like pregabalin.
