Gabapentin 300 Mg Cap Side Effects

I started taking Gabapentin and about 8 days later I broke out in red sores and pimples on my entire back and shoulders. I wondered if anyone has reported such a reaction to this drug. I am now experiencing my throat swollen, red, and scratchy with white pockets. I did stop taking the medication and the skin is slowly clearing but the throat is still bad. Please offer some education back gound on similar concerns to date. Thanks J

It really doesn't sound like something that was caused by the Gabapentin, especially what you're describing about your throat, that sounds more like a strep infection and the same could be true of the sores and pimples you had on your back, since it can also infect the skin topically.

Have you consulted a doctor? If this is a strep infection, then you are going to need an antibiotic to treat it properly.

I was given Gabapentin when I got Shingles. The rash of the shingles has been gone for about 30 days, however, I still have pain where the rash was. My doc said to continue taking the medication (300MG) three times per day. I've been on this medication for over 3 months, and I still have some slight pain. What are the side effects of taking this on a long term, and how long should I continue taking it. I'm feeling concerned about taking it for so long. Would one of the side effects be making it dificult to urinate?
