Hi there,
Gabapentin is an
Anti-convulsant and they all cause drowsiness. However if you continue with it the drowsiness usually always improves in time. I was on a lot of narcotics for many years and was able to control the constipation.
If the Nortriptyline was helping your constipation should be controllable.
Good luck to you.
Jake

I find taking the Gabapentin at night helps bc then I'm not tired the next day. I'm only on 200 mg right now. Thank you Jake.
