Hello @june232023, Welcome to Connect. I've had a close call when I was in the service and was accidentally shocked by a 440 volt while working on some electronics used with our ship's radar but fortunately had no long term effects. I'm sorry to hear your husband is having the feeling lightheaded side effects from gabapentin. Hoping someone with experience can share some suggestions with you.

Has your husband discussed the new symptoms with his doctor?

Hi. I may have said this before. I wad transitioning from lamictal to gaba to see if it helped CRPS pain any better. Still on a low dose, my lipid profile went thru the roof.y normal is close to below the range. HDL high. LDLs low. Cholesterol so pow its barely in the range. Same with triglycerides.
On a low dose of gaba, they went off the scale high. Like my cholesterol went up 100+ points.

I came of after a gew montjs and tjey hsve returnrd to normal tho not quite as good as they were. Yhis us a kniwn side effect that doctors ignore till they then put you on a statin and a low fat diet instead of realizing its the drug. At se point dose and time dependent it will stay elevated.

I.hope this helps. I went back on lamictal bit there is only one generic that is not a bad generic. (Unichem.) These drugs are used for seizures and if someone returns to having seizures, the generic is no good. Thru reason, I discovered a group that chemically tests drugs. Unichem was the only lamictal yo pasd their chemist. We don't ever tall about "not all generics are created equal." If it doesn't work, research your indian manufacturer. Also don't let thd pharmacy give you a new generic each month. Unichem lamictal is the only one walmart carries.

Check your lipid profile a few times a year. This is real about lipids even if your dr doesnt agree. My comparison was so drastic she had to agree. And ok now a year later. Careful folks. This is a real gaba issue.
