Now, once I was off Gabapentin I was able to get most of my faculties back aside from some forgetfulness. Gabapentin can also contribute to dementia later in life. I do not recommend this drug for anyone. Just my experience and not medical advice. Do your own research. Don't take Gabapentin. Take Lyrica (Pregabalin) instead. It's the newer version on Gabapentin and has less side effects. It is expensive though, as it's still under patent by Pfizer. I take 400mg nightly and have done for three years. In that time, I've had roughly a migraine headache a month. Additionally, gabapentin can cause multiorgan hypersensitivity or DRESS syndrome, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention if symptoms such as rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes, or liver problems occur.Consulting with a healthcare professional and being aware of the potential risks and benefits of gabapentin are important My headaches/backaches are so bad they drastically ruin sleep quality. I like what Gabapentin does for both. It's a mild calmative, and seems to take the edge off the headache/pains, allowing for better sleep. I take 600 mg daily for migraines. Have been taking it for a year. I used to get about 7-10 migraines a month. I have probably only had a total of 5 migraines in the entire YEAR I’ve been on Gabapentin. Completely changed by life as far as migraine suffering goes. Gabapentin is actually prescribed to treat chronic migraines, so I'm not sure it's a side effect of the medication. However, I'm prescribed gabapentin for chronic pain, and I have gotten symptoms of dizziness/drowsiness so bad that I feel it induced a headache. Helps with my everyday neck pain and regular headaches, in addition to migraines themselves. I live with quite a lot of pain due to a violent car accident 17 years ago. Gabapentin is the only thing that has brought the pain down without making things worse on whole. No medication overuse headaches, no gastritis. See what Gabapentin users say about headaches. Out of 2570 reviews, 72 (2.8%) mention headaches. Read firsthand experiences. In the past year, it has helped lower the amount of pain my migraines are and the duration of them. They have not-at least for me- lowered the amount of migraines I receive per month. Gabapentin is also stated to fight against aura but my aura has increased in the past year (probably because again- I'm at a low low low low low dose). I notice when I’m using gabapentin more often, I have nasty morning headaches that subside or lessen as the day progresses, but they’re awful. They feel akin to a hangover but I really don’t drink. I think maybe working out can exacerbate the headaches too? Is this probably a nerve pain migraine, gabapentin side effect, or both? Looks like research is on your side as well: It is believed that gabapentin may reduce the release of inflammatory neuropeptides implicated in headache pain, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P; it could also reduce the release of excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate. Believe it or not I take Gabapentin for migraines. My neurologist said they might get worse before they get better and he was right. Extra migraines when I started. Excruciating. But within three hellish weeks they completely disappeared. So try to hang in there. Or talk to your doctor if the headaches don’t dissipate. I've had chronic tension headaches for most of my adult life, at least 10 years. They've gotten worse in recent years. It's not unbearable, but it's pretty constant. I almost always feel a slight pressure around my eyes and a tightness at my temples. It's worse when under stress or when I'm overwhelmed with visual stimuli.

I didn’t even know it was something I could seek medical help for and tried various things to deal with the headaches myself: quitting alcohol and caffeine, getting more sleep, and improving my diet, just to make a few. I actually am taking 900 mg of Gabapentin 3Xs a day for seizures and migraine prevention. My seizures have decreased, but I do still have migraines and tension headaches, but not nearly as often. I was also told headaches were a side effect until the right dose is found. I came on here looking for something related to gabapentin. I just got on it and noticed almost immediately that I started getting this back of the head headaches in the am, kind of like thunderclap headaches but a little less in intensity. I have had a very positive experience with gabapentin, I've been on it over 7 years for migraines, daily headaches, and neck pain. My only side effect was drowsiness if I took 600 mg or more per dose. I didn't get balance issues until my dosage increased quite a lot, a total of 2700mg a day, that was only for a year.
