Neruontin visual disturbance....

Posted by johnj on February 7, 2008, at 20:22:20

Hello:

I have taken neurontin for two days only at 100 mg. One, it causes heavy head and gave ok sleep the first night but not very much the second night.

However I have a very strange feeling with it. My vision seems very bright. Looking outside was very funky. I was in an elevator and I was just staring at the ceiling because it was so bright and shiny. I wondered if people realized I seemed so dazed? I know it is only two doses but this is very odd. I am med sensitive.

Does lyrica have the same side effect? I didn't see the vision things listed as a side effect of neurontin so I wondered if I just imagined it? thanks

Yes, Lyrica causes the same visual disturbances as gabapentin, at least it did for me. But you are at a VERY low dose of neurontin (gabapentin) I didn't have visual disturbances until the peak dose of 3600mg. Maybe if you give it a few days, you will get used to it.
