A member asked:

Having bad cramps uncontrollable muscle movements so stopped neurontin but cramps and movements continue after benadryl (diphenhydramine) what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Neurontin (gabapentin) may cause muscle cramps, spasms or involuntary movements rarely. Omeprazole can also cause muscle cramps and involuntary movements. It sounds like you have already had several tests for a GI workup. You may want to discuss other treatment options with your physician for acid reflux.
