Heavy headedness
My husband has a bulging disc problem and the pain was going to his legs so his physician prescribed him Gabapentin tablet 300mg( 1 tablet before sleep) for 3 months but after 1 month of taking the medicine he started feeling heavy headed and dizzy. He immediately stopped having the tablet and its been 8 days but there is very little improvement. He cannot work properly and having uncoordinated movements. Problem is more intense after waking up from sleep and after 5-6 hours it gets little bit better but doesn't go away completely. Is it because of the tablet or there can be any other issue?
