A member asked:
Is it normal to experience side effects from neurontin (gabapentin) or elavil?

Sure: The major risk is sedation so i usually prescribe it initially as a single dose at bedtime. Other side effects are generally rare, including cognitive issues.

Some common events: Neurontin: drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, ankle/foot edema. Elavil: visual blurring, mouth dryness, difficulty starting urination, drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, lethargy, paradoxical anxiety, and maybe forgetfulness.
