Gabapentin 100mg Q Hs
(Newest replies first)

I've been taking 100mg @ night for 3 weeks. I have lightheadedness in the morning. Could it be gabapentin, or the caffeine from coffee that I take about 1/2 to 45 minutes before I get the lightheadedness?

Hi Sharon,

According to NIH.gov, if you notice dizziness, drowsiness or nausea while on Gabapentin, you should talk with your doctor.

The MayoClinic also confirms that lightheadedness is a side effect of Gabapentin.

Something else worth noting is that a caffeine overdose can cause dizziness as well. I don't know how much caffeine you take, but I wouldn't rule it out as a possible contributing factor.

Hope you feel better soon!
