Ic Gabapentin 300 Mg Bladder Side Effects (Page 3)

Updated

I take 100 ic gabapentin 3 times/day for sciatica. Now I find that my bladder leaks about once a week which is unnerving. Has this been reported as a side effect?

I've been on gabapentin for about 8 months and have not been motivated to work out, but the main reason I'm here is because I've woken up in a puddle of wetness. I couldn't believe it was me. Was in denial that I pee'd a bladder full on myself without knowing it.

I have the same problem, I go and I feel like I have to go right away. Terrible. I still have shingles almost 2 months now. Can't win.

I have been on 300mg Neurontin three times a day for a week for CRPS/RSD that happened after foot surgery. I constantly feel like I have to urinate but when I go it's barely a few drops and when I cough or laugh I leak.

Bladder leakage during sleep is absolutely side effect. Especially if you have a sensitive bladder. I experience every time I have had to take it. Its horrible!

Since taking Gabapentin I have to urinate at least 3 times nightly. I also got a bladder infection. I am getting off this horrible drug.

Also, getting up at night has contributed to sleeplessness.

I have MS and a neurogenic bladder, but have just recently figured out that the 100 mg. gabapentin I take at night may be causing me to wet the bed. I went off it for two dry weeks, and the first night I went back on it for pain I wet the bed. I couldn't believe it. If this has been the contributing factor to my frequency at night, plus the reason for the wetting, I will be astonished. Going to go off tonight and see if my bladder is less overactive.

I have been experience urgency since taking gabapentin and frequency as well as slight discomfort on urination. I feel like urgency comes on all of a sudden and if I don't get to the loo, I may not make it. Anyone else had similar experience? My doctor said it shouldn't be from gabapentin but now listening to others, I think it is.

Hey, yes im having incontinence problems on gabbapentine.it relaxes everthing so if your bladder muscles are relaxed....yea its gonna happen. Be careful and dont make the mistake I did of trying to cut my dosage to combat that issue at night.I got violently ill. Best wishes my heart goes out to everyone on this medication. Or in pain.I never thought ide be looking at medical marijuana because im so anti drugs due to family issues but its starting to sound like the side.effects of most perscription drugs just is too much.best wishes..kris

I take 3 gabapentin 100mg at bedtime daily for neuropathy and I've noticed myself waking at night about every two hours to urinate. When I wake it's hard for me to get off the bed or couch. In which time I have to go so badly, I have to squish my legs together to get up, while in the process, I end up doing more than just a mere dribble. I already have issues with i continence, I don't need this on top of it. I think they should list it as a side effect of this medication.

I am no longer taking the Gabapentin because of difficulty with high blood pressure; my experience was that I had fewer episodes of incontinence while taking Gabapentin and wish I could continue to take it, but management of my blood pressure is more of a concern.

Yes, I have been taking this for over 6 months for trigeminal neuralgia. I was on 1600 mg a day for many of these months. Now I just started with 2400 mg a day for nerve pain. I so very much hate this bladder leakage! I am only 45 and feel like it is totally the meds! :-(

Gabapenton was determined to give me total loss of bladder control. Urgency and leakage was an issue but complete emptying the bladder at bad times was a major problem. The part I hated the most was for short period just prior to the doctors taking me off the medication was I had to urinate every 20 minutes 24/7. Of course when the sever damage is done to the bladder then they prescribe medication to dry you up or give you better control. That leads to other complications. I don't have sinus problems anymore but other issues far worse. I am male 66 years old being treated for type II diabetes.

I take 100mg 3 x a day and the last 2 nights I sat up and my bladder just let loose! I started on 100mg for a month, IBS started then stopped, 200 the next month, now 300mg and this started!!!! I asked the cardio Dr. today he looked it up and said no, but I am with you!!! I had a urethra lift 6 months ago and it fixed any leakage. On top of it I never leaked like this. I feel the urge while sleeping, sit up and bam! Soak the bed. Thank you so much for sharing but it needs to be listed as a side effect! We must all tell our Dr's and call the companies! Does anyone know if I need to wean off. I am on it for nerve pain.

I quite cold turkey. Unfortunately it has done its damage, I have to take another medication to dry me up. It has help with surprise attacks, but when I get the urge I need to find a restroom.
