Nah, it wasn't an allergic reaction... I just felt like my head had a bunch of pressure in it from the Gabapentin at 500+. I recall taking 300mg (I think it's measured in mg's) for quite some time without that issue.

I was taking Amitriptyline at the same time as Gabapentin as well, so I've been thinking about trying the anti convulsant again (Amitriptyline caused me a bunch of issues).

Or has anyone that's taken Gabapentin had trouble with it, but been ok with another type (Lyrica is one my neuro suggested, my GP said she hasn't seen much good come out of it)?
