If you google Gabapentin 300mg, you'll see that double vision is a side-effect. I have double vision when I am tired without the drug. I have just been prescribed it for nerve pain and am very concerned about taking it. Has anyone had difficulties coming off this drug?

I have been taking 2400 mg (eight 300-mg tablets) a day of gabapentin for more than a year. I have a lot of double vision, though only when I'm tired (which is most of the time). Of course, I take a few other sedating medications as well. I've gotten used to the double vision, except when it happens when I'm driving!

It doesn't seem from the monograph listing, that these are common side effects:

I would suggest you speak to your doctor and discuss this as soon as possible, it could be this drug, an illness, or a combo if you are taking something else.
