Gabapentin Side Effect #6: Erratic Eye Movements
Our eyes automatically adjust to their surroundings to maximize the amount of useful information we get from them. We focus automatically on objects we are looking at and the position of our eyes allows us to triangulate, meaning we can judge distances. Sometimes, though, the movement of our eyes can become quite erratic.
Some patients using gabapentin have complained that they are experiencing erratic eye movements. This can be quite alarming to people that know the patient, while some patients complain that the movements can be so severe that they need to close their eyes as it makes them feel unwell and disorientated.
