Why did doctor increase your dose?I realize this is an old post. I'd already decided to slowly come off it as the side effects are not brilliant. I've suffered from ALL the same things as you. Such a relief, not just for me but my husband as well. You find something that works but the side effects are horrible. At first I thought it was Keppra I was on but I stopped that in November and it just continued. xBloody typical isn't it? I've lost well over half already. A lot of people on this site say 2 meds at lower doses are more effective than one med at a high dose. I feel your pain, and now that I've discovered that Horizant can be contributing to my significant hIr loss, I'm going to try some other way to deal with my sciatica. & NEVER GIVE UP! I also have to go to a sleep clinic due to my sudden sleep walking and moving things around the house and have no recollection of it. Have you had blood tests? It was prescribed for Fibromyalgia and I regret to report it did not help me. Doctor has prescribed 100mg Gabapentin, one to be taken daily for one week, then...Have any of you been prescribed gabapentin as an alternative for Ropinirole? The usual dose for RLS is 900mg. There are lots of side effects with gabapentin so not sure why your doctor says the only one is drowsiness. We comply with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information - I was prescribed Gabapentin a month ago..600mg a night for anxiety, and constant aches that were disrupting my sleep.My hair was already super thin (I was also prescribed finestereide simultaneously for a slightly elevated DHT level).. and it is currently shedding everywhere. Samoa air is adding something new to its aircraft - couches. If iron tablets make you nauseous, have you asked your GP about an iron infusion? they seem like they’d be itchy, hot & a pain in the butt Other times I just want to say screw it and let it be other peoples issues and not wear anything. Ok. Ttyl8r. Not come across this side effect before but from what you say it's very rare. I'll luk how tht goes! Hair loss, diarrhoea, double vision, tremor, etc. ❤I start my therapy 2maro (well, 2day) we get 15 visits with our plan. I've been taking Gabapentin ( Neurontin ) for about 2 months and have noticed my hair has thinned considerably. I was only on Gabapentin for about 2 months. I had no side effects til my feet and lower legs swelled up that much I had to wear bigger slippers I stopped the drug with Docs approval for about 3 months without any side effects and my legs reduced to near normal . ive been on it for 4 1/2 yrs and i had long thick blond hair and now its short and very thin ive spent at least a couple thousands of $ on top hair extensions. Sorry to say my hair hasn't returned to what it was like pre Gabapentin. BUT, do let me know what yours has to say.Hi Joolsg I will let you know not sure when I will be seeing her but I have said to my doctor and he is going to look into it for me as well I will keep you posted .HE has me on Adartrel tablets 500 micro grams 1 at lunch time 2at dinner and 1 2mgs at bedtime I find them great for the legs and arms.Ms nurse but me on 10mg baclofen and 600mg Gabapentin as well for my arms are really bad maybe worse than the legs .It really is a awful thing to have and only ourselves can know what it is like good luck anyway we can keep in touch cheers Gloria I was on Ropinirole ( same as Adartrel) which worked brilliantly for years until I developed augmentation which was horrible so had to go through withdrawal ( not a pretty experience) and so tried tramadol which did nothing and then gabapentin 1200mg which helps with the RLS but I don't think I like the side effects.I was on a medication that caused hair loss.
