Gabapentin Side Effect #2: Drowsiness
It’s usually quite important that we are alert during the day. There will be numerous tasks that we need to work on and we need the energy and focus to be able to get them done. This is usually no problem thanks to energy from our food as well as various hormones and other compounds that keep us alert.
People that are taking gabapentin, however, are likely to find that they will become drowsy even during the daytime. They can find it difficult to find the energy or enthusiasm to get things done and will find it difficult to focus. People experiencing these symptoms should avoid driving and operating heavy machinery.
