Movement - unpredictable or jerky is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Lamotrigine, and have Depression. Been taking gabapentin for only two days for a herniated disc in my neck. While sleeping, have these wild jerking movements in my arms and legs that surprise me and wake me up. Plus, it has not helped my pain at all (300mg). It doesn't make me dizzy, sleepy, buzzed, euphoric, anything. Just very jerky at night. Will not ever take again. I'm very wobbly and 'jerky'. So my Doc lowered dose, and prescribed Soma along with lower dose of gabapentin. I read your post yes, it's the gabapentin causing jerks and I have talked to other people who are having trouble with the same thing after taking them. Do not stop taking gabapentin tablets without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping gabapentin tablets suddenly can cause serious problems. Gabapentin tablets can cause serious side effects including: 1. Suicidal Thoughts. Like other antiepileptic drugs, gabapentin tablets may cause suicidal thoughts or Negative myoclonus is a jerky, brief, and sudden interruption of voluntary muscle contraction. Although gabapentin and pregabalin have been reported to induce positive myoclonus in some patients with impaired renal function, there are only a few studies describing pregabalin- or gabapentin-induced negative myoclonus. Abstract. A wide variety of drugs can cause myoclonus. To illustrate this, we first discuss two personally observed cases, one presenting with generalized, but facial-predominant, myoclonus that was induced by amantadine; and the other presenting with propriospinal myoclonus triggered by an antibiotic. Jerky movements: Sudden, involuntary movements can interfere with walking and coordination. Age and Kidney Function: Elderly patients are particularly susceptible to gabapentin’s side effects. Age-related kidney issues can impair the body’s ability to process gabapentin, increasing the risk of side effects. 15. Can gabapentin cause tremors or jerky movements? Yes, gabapentin can cause tremors, muscle spasms, and jerky movements (myoclonus). These side effects are important to discuss with your doctor if you experience them. Conclusion. Gabapentin’s relationship with heart flutters is complex and multifactorial. Unusual Eye Movements: Jerky eye movements (nystagmus) can occur, which may affect vision. Increased Seizure Frequency: In rare cases, people may experience an increase in the frequency of seizures instead of relief. Low Blood Sodium Levels (Hyponatremia): Symptoms can include confusion, severe drowsiness, and weakness. Psychological Side Effects: Gabapentin is fairly safe when you use it correctly. It does come with some possible side effects, though. People who misuse this drug are also at risk of additional side effects. Yes, gabapentin can indeed cause shakiness, or tremors, as a side effect. Negative myoclonus is a jerky, brief, and sudden interruption of voluntary muscle contraction. Although gabapentin and pregabalin have been reported to induce positive myoclonus in some patients with impaired renal function, there are only a few studies describing pregabalin- or gabapentin-induced negative myoclonus. This study reviewed patients who had developed pregabalin- or gabapentin Background: Gabapentin (GBP)-induced movement disorders (MDs) are under-recognized adverse drug reactions. They are commonly not discussed with patients, and their sudden occurrence can lead to Can gabapentin cause involuntary movements? Yes, gabapentin can induce movement disorders, including myoclonus and tremors, even at clinically recommended doses. These symptoms usually subside after discontinuing the medication.

Some side effects of gabapentin may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. My doctor gave me Gabapentin 300 mg capsules for lumbar nerve pain in 2008. The first capsule made my hands shaky, but it resolved by morning. I decided to try one more capsule. Coordination issues - unable to stand or walk, unsteady or jerky movements; 2. Seizures. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant drug that is primarily used to reduce the occurrence of seizures. However, since gabapentin alters the electrical brain waves, the drug has the capacity to cause seizures. In studies, almost 30% of people taking gabapentin for postherpetic neuralgia, and over 15% of people taking it for seizures, experienced dizziness. Dizziness is similarly common with Horizant. But it may be slightly less likely with Gralise. Along with causing dizziness, gabapentin can worsen your coordination.
