I take 100 ic gabapentin 3 times/day for sciatica. Now I find that my bladder leaks about once a week which is unnerving. Has this been reported as a side effect?

Just so you all know...my husband has the same issue and is on high doses of it!! - he is more crippled up than he originally was!!!! and I think it should be listed as a side effect for sure!!

Re: Peach (# 5)
I just started taking gabapentin 300 mg the first night I had bladder leakage not a little, a lot. This absolutely has to be related. It never happened before I took this first pill.
They gave this to me for sciatic pain I will have to talk to the doctor about it and report back.
I guarantee this is a side effect.

Yes it will happen every so often. You may find it hard to pee also. But that is just part of taking this drug. You Will have to live with it or stop taking it.

I hope so. Dr had me on 900mg daily and I am almost disabled now. Stopped taking it 2 weeks ago found out I never needed it. I have lost about 80 of bladder control and joi take and muscles so painful I can barely walk. All I needed from new doctor was silicone shots in knee - I had that before where I used to stay and it helped a lot. New doctor said no this stuff will fix it. 300mg once daily for week then 300mg twice daily for week and then 300mg three times daily. Even my mind was affected - my memory too. I would have hallucinations too and when I told him about bladder, and pain and all stuff going on, all he said was keep taking it. After 2 months I lost job, medical, apartment I moved in with friends and started taking myself off it gradually. It's 2 weeks now and now more hallucinations and memory and brain clear. But body - hope it will heal enough that I can get job and medical again.

I had 3 back surgeries within 6 weeks. The last surgery was a four-level fusion L-3 through S1. I have nerve pain and numbness left leg outer shin all of the top of foot and toes. My left leg is weak and suffers loss of Mobility. The Gabapentin helps with the electrical nerve pain but I am now experiencing urinary incontinence not able to empty bladder completely can't sleep which is causing depression. I would like to know if there is an alternative to Gabapentin for the electrical nerve pain as Gabapentin provides relief but the urinary incontinence and the lack of sleep is disrupting my life.It appears the urinary incontinence is a side effect that should be listed and is not. I hope it is does not cause permanent incontinence as I am expected to take this drug for multiple years.

Leaking urine is definitely caused by Gabapentin/Neurontin. 2 years ago, I was taking 300 mg, then upped to 600 mg. 3 times a day for several pain issues, 68 yr. old female, also taking norco 10 mg. 3 x a day, 3 herniated discs in cervical & 3 in lumbar spine, plus arthritis, etc. The gabapentin did help a little with my pain but within 3 months, I would sit up to get up out of bed or a chair or bend over to pickup something and some urine would run down my leg, also when walking to the bathroom it would run down and I couldn't stop the flow and hold it until I got to the toilet. It was like a water faucet that's not completely shut off...talk about embarrassing and pantiliners & then pads don't always keep clothing dry.. Heaven help if you sit on someone's sofa! I quickly stopped the gabapentin (and thankfully didn't have any bad withdrawals but be cautious here) and my bladder went back to normal. I don't know why doctors don't caution patients about this side effect!! Especially since the current trend to refuse our norco prescriptions and use this drug for pain instead... in fact, my NP reduced my norco to 5 mg. one tablet every 12 hours And for help in the tapering down from norco she ordered me a script for Gabapentin 300 mg. 3 x a day!! Within about 3 weeks, my urine was leaking constantly, even turning over in bed would push some out and I could not stop it. It was worse than the first time. I had to use 2 extra long overnight pads and wearing pads 24 hours a day isn't good.. I also noticed when I did have to pee, it was just a tiny little amount and I had been drinking plenty of water.. Anyway once again I immediately stopped the gabapentin and my bladder returned to normal.. sorry for the long message but I hope it will help everyone who is experiencing this problem and wondering why and/or is this normal or will I leak forever... good luck

Im 30 years old and am on the neurontin. 600mg at night. The bladder issue has also occurred. Often i find i dont make it in time, or just in the nick of time. This is a side effect most definately. But i also find that i often have problems releasing. .. when this happens i use cranberry pills found at ur local pharmacy. These help release n ease the symptoms.
