Gabapentin Side Effect #3: Speaking Difficulties
Our ability to speak allows us to communicate with each other in ways that no other animal can achieve. Speech itself is a complex process that involves numerous muscles and takes years to learn. Once fluent, it is something that we barely even think about, but even speech can become difficult again for some people.
One side effect of gabapentin is that the patient can find it difficult to speak clearly. This can be very frustrating for the patient as they are usually still just as lucid mentally as in the past. Patients complain that they can have difficulty finding words, while involuntary drooling can also affect their ability to speak.
