Hi,
Gabapentin has various side effects notably Sedation, Dizziness, Ataxia, Fatigue, Gastrointestinal irritation, Weight gain, Edema. If you are on BP medication, you should avoid naproxen, NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), as it will offset BP control Instaflex is a dietary supplement for Osteoarthritis and can be taken, if it suits one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
