10 Side Effects of Gabapentin
Gabapentin Side Effect #7: Jerky Body Movements
Our muscles usually only move when we need them to move. This is often done subconsciously, although it can also be done consciously, and it helps us to remain in control of our movements overall. Sometimes, though, people might find that their muscles don’t move quite as smoothly as they want them to.
Gabapentin has a side-effect of causing jerky body movements. The patient can find it difficult to perform smooth actions with walking becoming difficult and even holding a drink can become a challenge. Depending on the severity of the symptoms, the patient might need help in performing certain tasks.
