A member asked:
How common is hair loss while taking neurontin (gabapentin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infrequent: There are many possible side effects with Neurontin (gabapentin). Hair loss is noted as being an infrequent side effect. However, I suggest if you are having this or any other side effects from this drug that you contact your prescribing physician immediately to discuss this.
