Blurred vision, double vision, unusual eye movements (nystagmus) Headache; Withdrawal seizures (never stop gabapentin suddenly!) Blood disorders; Skin rash (alert your M.D. immediately if this occurs!) Upper respiratory tract infections, fever; High blood pressure; Palpitations; Tremor, jerky movements; Joint pain, joint stiffness, arthritis 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. When you're comparing gabapentin versus Lyrica, you should consider the benefits and risks. Gabapentin is used to treat partial seizures that occur with epilepsy and nerve pain resulting from Negative myoclonus (NM) refers to a jerky, shock-like involuntary movement, due to a sudden interruption of voluntary muscle contraction. The concept was first introduced by Shahani and Young in an effort to characterize post-hypoxic intention myoclonus and asterixis [1]. 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. Yes, gabapentin can cause peripheral edema, which is fluid retention in the legs and feet. This side effect is more common with higher doses and in elderly individuals. 9. Can gabapentin cause jerky movements? Yes, gabapentin can cause jerky, twitching, and other involuntary movements as a side effect, which can impair normal activity. 10. 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 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 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: 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 are involuntary sudden, brief, shock-like ‘jerky’ movements due to muscular contractions (‘positive myoclonus’) or sudden lapses of muscle contraction in active muscles (‘negative myoclonus’ or ‘asterixis’) [40, 44]. Seizures can cause involuntary jerking of your legs and arms, loss of consciousness, breathing problems, and loss of bladder and bowel control, among other symptoms. Gabapentin helps reduce seizures by stopping abnormal electrical activity in your brain, which causes seizures. 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. Results: A total of 99 reports of 204 individuals who developed a MD associated with GBP were identified. The MDs encountered were 135 myoclonus, 22 dyskinesias, 7 dystonia, 3 akathisia, 3 His physical exam was significant for constant twitching of extraocular muscles and hyperkinetic repetitive jerky movements involving the upper and lower extremities. The movements were more prominent in the upper extremities. Facial twitching and diaphragmatic myoclonus were also noted. Additionally, the patient had persistent hiccups. 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. Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur while taking gabapentin: More common in children. 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. Gabapentin may cause serious side effects including: See “What is the most important information I should know about gabapentin tablets?” • • • • lack of coordination • feeling tired • viral infection • fever • feeling drowsy • jerky movements • nausea and vomiting • difficulty with coordination In 2004, gabapentin became available as a generic drug. No one seems to fully understand exactly how gabapentin works within our bodies, although it is deemed effective. “Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin relieves the pain of PHN by changing the way the body senses pain.
