What Causes Migraine Headache After Taking Gabapentin?

I have been taking gabapentin for nerve pain and just started a new bottle by a different mfg. Camber. My problem is for the past 3 days since starting the new bottle I have been having one migraine after another. Usually my migraines are due to an in-active ingredient in some medications called magnesium stearate(sp). I am trying to find out if this particular generic has that ingredient.

Hello,

Gabapin can cause heavy headedness, if previous mfg didn’t effect your health, then you can stop new bottle and switch back to previous.

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