Smelling Cigarette Smoke (Phantosmia): What could it mean?

I also take Gabapentin, 2700 mg a day. I also get phantom smells. I do not believe it is the gabapentin, I believe it is from headaches, particularly migraines. There are many people with migraines who get phantom smells. I get phantom burning smells. I guess I was never particularly alarmed by it.

I agree that I don’t think it is the gabapentin causing the phantom smells. I had a VERY SEVERE case of the smell issue on and off for seven months. I also had numerous other symptoms and was very sick. It came and went over twenty times. At the time this happened in May 2016 I had been taking Gabapentin for fifteen years without a problem. I’m certainly no doctor but I think it isn’t the Gabapentin.
