Doc put me on gabapentin yesterday. Took first pill and it felt like a panic attack. My body went hot all over, I couldn't breathe well, Got dizzy and weak. Has anyone reacted like that?

When I first took gabapentin I got extremely nauseous and noticed hives on my right arm...I took myself off of it because I figured I was allergic to it...maybe you are having some sort of allergic reaction to it...check with your doctor...

I didnt react like you did but i did end up sucidal within 3 weeks of being on this med, didn't click it was the meds till 6 weeks of being on them (my partner actually figured out that it was the meds, i hadn't thought about it), stopped taking gabapentin and within 24 hours felt completely normal again! Scared me so much, my dr had not warned me this could happen. I would never take it again andam cautious when trying new meds now.

When Dr put me on Gabapentin I didn't have your reaction but I did feel really itchy all over from soles of my feet to my scalp, quick call to Dr surgery & I was told to stop, maybe you should give your Dr a call & explain what happened? It might not be agreeing with you sweetie xx πŸ’œ xx

Wow, Turbokitty. Thanks for telling me. Have you reacted poorly to any other drugs like that? What works well for you?
