Drowsiness is a common side effect of gabapentin, actually all seizure meds. Side effects usually improve after taking it anywhere from weeks to a few months.
If you increase your dose do it slowly to help ease side effects.
Try to stick with it, it should get better. Are you having any balance or thinking issues?
Take care,
Jake

Never had drowsiness from Gabapentin, and I was taking 600 mg 4x a day.
All I know is that Gabapentin did nothing for my neuropathy so it was stopped after few years.
I also have severe balance issues and cannot feel my feet, it’s hard to walk.
