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?

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 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.

I've been taking Gabapentin for a while. Recently, I have major issue with urgency, bladder leakage and wetting the bed at night. When I ease up on the Gaba, those symptoms decrease. I think there is definite connection between the two

My problem is I am dealing with the VA. The Veterans Admin. does not want it listed as a side effect, this would cause them a major financial setback. For me the damage is done, I will suffer from badder problems the rest of my life.

I also take gabapentin 300 and I notice every time I take it I am up all night going to the bath room. I also just had one kidney remove in 2015 do you think this medicans may have had something to do with it.

I don't believe so. It would be awesome if they would. There are some articles regarding this over site by the manufacturer. I would mention the problem to your doctor as soon as possible. I also would do some research on line, I think the Cleveland Clinic, or Mayo Clinic were one of the reports on Gabapentin

It does cause bladder leakage! My dr said so. Get off of the neurontin. Causes weight gain too.

Yes, I too have been wondering about Gabapentin (3x day for me) I've been taking 3 yrs. Initially seemed to be retention, now appears to be opposite effect. I take for sciatica also bad back which could contribute to muscle weakness of bladder. But remember this drug is also used to dull the nerve sensors so I believe alot of symptoms are attributed. I have alot of "spacey" moments, sweat, confussion, dizziness and blurred vision. I am trying to ween off but nothing else seems to help with leg cramps. Not the best Rx for longterm??

I've lost control of my bladder twice as an adult. Both times while sleeping and when I had moved to a higher level of Gabapentin. Doctor said Gabapentin shouldn't be the problem but quite the coincidence
