What Causes Abdominal Discomfort Upon Intake Of Gabapentin?

MY WIFE takes gabapentin 100 mg tablets for restless legs. She weighs 104 pounds. I think this pill bothers her as her stomach area then hurts then and she just does n feel good. She is not on a schedule other than take 3 times daily. I think this pill bothers her as she usually doesn t feel good after taking it. Do you have any suggestions?
