I take 300 mg gabapentin morning and night and having trouble remembering names. I plan to try adding 5 mg Aricept to see if helps memory. I like not having the pain but would like to get my memory back.

That can be a side effect of most anticonvulsants, and there isn't really anything that will change it, other than trying a different medication.

As listed by the FDA, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, mood swings, and weight gain.

Have you discussed the issue with your doctor?
