Common Questions and Answers about Gabapentin side effects dogs
neurontin
What you describe is not a side effect of gabapentin. They contraindicate its use in dogs that have kidney deficits, but the only side effects are vomiting, depression, excessive sleepiness and loss of balance.
None of the other medications should cause otic issues either, especially since he's not new to taking them.
It sounds like your dog has possibly developed otitis externa on top of whatever he's taking the gabapentin and other medications for.
Anyone have any side effects from starting neurontin or suggestions on how to adapt to using it.
It's kicking my butt so far, so only taking it at night but a bit zoozy in the mornings. Am on 300mg,
have titration orders but don't want to add any more at the present until I adjust to this night dose.
anyone?
How long after taking gabapentin will the side effects last. I have hair loss. I stopped taking gabapentin about four or five months ago.
Hi, is anyone else taking Gabapentin for nerve pain and are experiencing side effects?
Since being on it for a week now I’ve noticed pain in my abdomen, neck, maybe even a little in my groin area too.
Has anyone else experienced these side effects?
I have been prescribed Gabapentin and found the drug to have serious side effects. It significantly degrades intellectual ability, for one, affects judgement (adversely), and makes driving dangerous. It is also addictive. It also doesn't do much to relieve pain. Under certain circumstances it can precipitate seizures. Then it causes headaches. And difficulty breathing..
I just stopped it cold. I would never take it again.
Trileptal is a newer drug than Tegretol (carbamazapine) and is supposed to have less side effects than Tegretol.
You do have to have blood tests every three months because it can affect the sodium levels in your blood, which could lead to kidney problems.
I went through 6 doctors before I found a Facial Pain Specialist at a large teaching hospital that actually helped me.
However their side-effect profiles may differ somewhat. If you are finding that the side-effects with gabapentin are tolerable then it would probably be best to increase the dose under doctor's advice. There is a long way upwards that you may go with the dose before reaching the upper limit, as Jason80 points out.
I've used Lyrica for several months now and I am finding it very hard to tolerate the side-effects, although it does a good job of reducing pain significantly.
Hi! I have a JRT/Terrier mix, male who is deaf. He is a rescue. 3-days after I brought him home he had his first seizure with me. I suspect he has had them for years but no one was around or cared.
The vet started him on Zonithamide (sp). I ruled out phenobarb due to the kidney/liver issues it can cause. I researched like a crazy woman & found that a medication I take for nerve damage is also used for epilepsy.
My little fella weighs about 18-lbs.
I was on gabapentin after spinal injury, and decided that I was better off without it. The medication didn't do much for pain, but had the side effects you talked about, plus it caused confusion. I did not feel safe driving while under this medication. Everything is a risk/benefit situation, and I suggest you have a long talk with the prescribing physician if you experience problems.
My German Shepherd was recently prescribed incurin and it has caused her not to eat and a little bit aggressive and scared... She also was running around with her hackles up and starting fights with my other dogs...She only had 3 or 4 days of it and then I took her off of it this last Sunday was her last dose...She still is not wanting to eat and not 100% back to herself? How long do the side effects last...It was taking me an hour and a half to get her to eat 2 cups of food...

Gabapentin is a drug that has many adverse side effects. I would question the sanity of any physician that prescribed gabapentin to help with percocet withdrawals. But that's just me.
Go to the PDR (physician's desk reference) and look up the established side effects of gabapentin.
