I have these white capsule pills that I was told is gabapentin. Anyone ever see these before? ## Hello, Joe! How are you? If there are no markings, it is most likely an over the counter product, since the FDA requires all manufactured prescription products to have unique imprints to enable their identification. Although, there is also a small change that it could be a foreign medication. Is anyone else familiar with these capsules?

Only side effect I'm having is crazy itching from head to toe. On gabapentin 300mg 2xs a day for 4 months due to nerve pain for carpal tunnel both hands. GABA did not help pain but helped me sleep. Had surgery last month, wanted to stop since sleeping better. But now I read here that some folks ARE having itching too! What can I take to help? ## Some antihistamines may help, if you're allowed to take them, or a hydrocortisone cream. But really, it's just going to take time for this withdrawal effect to wear off and go away on its own. You may also experience depression, anxiety and diarrhea. If you stopped abruptly, without tapering it, you should be aware that there can be a risk of seizures, so if you experience one seek immediate medical attention. Is there anything else ...

I tried gabapentin 300mg. (instead of Lyrica 50mg.) the first time I used it, it made my heart pound so bad I could not use it, could I use a smaller mgs. of gabapentin.

Can taking alcohol and Gabapentin kill you? ## Hello, Cupcake! How are you? It would depend on several factors, such as how much of each was involved, the person's overall health, prior liver damage if any and etc. So, theoretically, it is possible, but most likely wouldn't happen to a normal, healthy person who has just taken a prescribed dose of the medication and has one drink… but it could still make them very ill. It is best to avoid combining alcohol with any prescription medication, as a general rule and don't drink, unless your doctor says that it is safe for you to have a couple. Another risk could be if you're taking this medication to treat seizures, because alcohol could cause them. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking 300mg of Gabpent...

My husband has been taking Gabapentin 900 for quite some time now but he won't stop drinking (he has cirrhosis).. He will even take the medicine with beer. He has experienced a lot of symptoms but he blames the pill and not the beer, but i know an alcoholic is like that ... He won't admit it. How bad is it taking Gabapentin 900 with alcohol? ## What symptoms is he experiencing? Typically, taking a prescription medication with alcohol could result in liver damage, and a worsening of the side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness, according to the FDA.

Why would my doctor prescribe gabapentin when my blood pressure is difficult to control? It's 100/150 at times. I was complaining to my Dr that my hands are becoming difficult to control; I drop & throw things. Very miserable not being able to hold a phone, etc. ## I honestly can't say, since blood pressure elevations can be a side effect of it, as reported by the FDA. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that can also be used to treat certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Its other typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, and weight gain. What other medications do you take regularly?
