I've been diagnosed with MGUS and also taking gabapentin. I'm finding I have extreme fatigue after about an hour of a dose. Would you please explain to me what your side effects were? I told my PCP that I thought it was the gaba that was causing my sleepiness and he said he had never heard of that. Thanks!

I was prescribed gabapentin for joint pain.
What a horrible experience. I was wasted, fatigued and slept horribly.
I stopped after 3 days. Same story Doctor did not make me aware of any side effects.

It is so incredible that doctors are not aware of common side effects. Gabapentin is prescribed off label for sleep-I know because it was prescribed for my insomnia and it did help me sleep at night. It just made me so spaced out and a little dizzy all the next morning that I had to discontinue it. I was on it for a month or more and those side effects never got better. I’m not surprised you felt extremely fatigued after taking a dose.
