Toepain,

Both headaches and dizziness are very common side effects of gabapentin. I had dizziness and mild headaches when I started gabapentin.

I urge you to give this drug a chance as it often takes about 3 weeks for the body to adjust to this drug.

What dosage are you at? It's important to start with a small dosage and ramp up slowly until you reach a "therapeutic dosage".

I take 1800 mg daily. 600 mg 3X a day.

But know that this drug, like others, is not for everyone. If you absolutely can't tolerate the side effects, contact your doctor.

Good luck to you!
