Neurontin (Gabapentin)

Gabapentin (Neurontin), a drug that is used in the treatment of epilepsy, and may be used for bipolar disorder by some doctors, is under study for its ability to relieve muscle cramps. Oddly, however, documented side effects of this drug can include MUSCLE ACHE or PAIN (IN ADDITION TO BLURRED or DOUBLE VISION; DIZZINESS; DROWSINESS; SWELLING of HANDS, FEET, or LOWER LEGS; TREMBLING or SHAKING; and UNUSUAL TIREDNESS or WEAKNESS). UNTIL THE RESULTS ARE KNOWN, WE RECOMMEND STEERING CLEAR OF THIS DRUG.
