Neurontin
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi has anyone experience with really bad fatigue with gabapentin? My doctor started me off on 100mg and gradually increased it to 300mg. I have only been taking the 300mg for 2 days but I fell so sleepy. Does this pass? If so how long did it take to pass? On the up side it is helping with my migraines so I am thankful for that

Gabapentin is notorious for causing fatigue and sleepiness.If it's working to relieve your migraine symptoms keep taking it. The fatigue will go away as your body adjusts to it.

I found that the sleepiness wears off after a couple of weeks. taking it at bedtime is
great advice

if you're just taking it once a day, take it at bedtime.
