What Causes Numbness And Burning Feeling In Left Leg And Blurred Vision?
My doctor has prescribed gabapentin 300 mg for numbness, burning, in my left leg. I had a bone fusion 10/30/14. I have been on this drug for the last 3 days and I am having blurred vision/double vision. my question is should I stop taking this medication?

thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com....
see gabapentin can produce blurred vision in some individuals initially....but with continuation, body adjusts to the drug and the blurred vision generally does not remain anymore....
i would suggest you not to stop the medicine, but to talk to your doctor regarding your symptoms....he would be able to tell you further....
hope this was useful.....
contact me for any further queries.....
will be happy to help.....
