Gabapentin Side Effect #4: Memory Loss
Memory is a very effective tool and something that is found throughout the animal kingdom. It helps animals find food and remember danger spots, while people can store complex memories such as language and even advanced mathematics. As impressive as our memories can be, things can start going quite wrong should we begin to lose our ability to remember things.
Memory loss can affect our day to day living and could potentially be dangerous to us. Many patients complain that they end up taking too much gabapentin because they forget that they have already taken some. Other memory lapses such as forgetting to turn off a stove can present a real threat to the patient and others around them.
