Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Gabapentin

my brother inlaw took gabapentin 100mg 3x daily, for the first time for nerve pain and for more than two weeks now have been experiencing adverse effect of unsteady gait, lack of coordination, forgetfulness, dizziness, difficulty with speech and a lot more. What can he do? How can these symptoms be reversed?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

These are temporary symptoms and will revert once you stop taking Gabapentin. If symptoms persist for long, you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
