What Causes Headaches Along With Blurred Vision And Vertigo?

I am taking gabapentin for neuropathy. I am seeing no reduction in pain/ tingling. I am also experiencing some headaches, blurred vision and imbalance along with other symptoms. Would it be good to try to quit the drug to see what symptoms if any stop. Then what would I take for pain?

For severe pain's relief try another NSAID first. Like Meloxicam. After that if this doesn't work try any over the counter Opiate containing preparation like Noroco tabs. You can take Nurobion tabs that contain Vit B1 + VIT B6 + VIT B 12.

Gabapentin is usually well tolerated. For cause of headaches with vision problems, to rule out any serious cause why don't you get an MRI done, if only to exclude any space occupying lesion.

Hope that helps.
