Improvement of antipsychotic-induced blepharospasm and involuntary oral-mandibulo movements was observed with the use of the anticonvulsant drug gabapentin among 14 of 16 affectively ill patients who had been exposed to maintenance neuroleptics of the conventional type. Common causes of acute dysphagia in elderly patients include acute stroke and delirium. [2] . Reversible causes, such as jaw myoclonus, are rarely reported. [3] . Myoclonus refers to a sudden, brief, shock-like involuntary movement. 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. 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 Myoclonus is a rare side effect of gabapentin (GBP) and has been reported in patients with preexisting myoclonus, mental retardation, chronic static encephalopathy, diffuse brain damage, impaired renal function, or end stage renal disease. We report The good news is that in most cases, movement disorders related to gabapentin, including tremors, are reversible upon discontinuation or dose reduction of the medication. Studies show that a majority of individuals experiencing these side effects achieve a full recovery after stopping gabapentin. Finally, the patient was given olanzapine, clonazepam, baclofen, and gabapentin. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale was used to assess changes in the patient's condition. Her TD was efficiently managed through co-administration of olanzapine, clonazepam, baclofen, and 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 misdiagnosis. Methods: We describe two cases of unusual movement disorders associated with the use of GBP. Results: There were significant differences in the clinical findings between the two cases. In the first case, movements were very pronounced and the patient was in oculogyric crisis. 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. Gabapentin is We identified 36 studies of 98 patients with gabapentin-associated abnormal movements, including myoclonus (52, 12.5%) and ataxia (32, 6.7%) [98,103,281–314]. Among these studies, further details were available for 32 patients ( Table 2 ) [ 289 – 313 ]. 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. 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 misdiagnosis. This literature review aims to evaluate the clinical–epidemiological profile, pathological mechanisms, and management of GBP-associated MD. Myoclonus was the most common movement disorder described with gabapentin (GBP), corresponding to 66.17% of the cases. The incidence of myoclonus varied from 1.09 to 21.05%, and the incidence was not affected by sex. RLS is commonly associated with sleep disturbance and with involuntary, jerking movements of the legs during sleep, known as periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). When significant sleep disturbances or impaired daytime functioning coexist with PLMS in the absence of RLS or other associated disorders, the term periodic limb movement disorder What many people don’t realize is that taking gabapentin can result in various side effects. Here are some gabapentin side effects that could occur. 1. Abnormal eye movements. People taking gabapentin have reportedly experienced involuntary and continuous eye movements. These are often rolling or back and forth eye movements that users cannot We started treating her with gabapentin (GBP), after which she recovered completely. At age 11 years, she developed continuous, generalized involuntary movements. This prompted us to increase the GBP dose, which again resolved the involuntary movements completely. Disordered function of GABAergic neurons in the basal ganglia may be responsible of several involuntary movements, the hallmarks of hyperkinetic disorders. Hyperkinetic movement disorders include tremor, paroxysmal dyskinesias (dystonia and chorea), myoclonus, restless legs syndrome, hemifacial spasms and other disorders [ 13 - 16 ].
