And how are you feeling right now ? Did you notice these effects every time you took the Gabapentin ? Rapid heart beat is not specifically listed as a side effect of this medication, however there are other side effects which may be related ... such as dizziness, tremor, nausea, blurred vision. Have you had any of these? Medications which have a neurological effect on the body can certainly come with their own complications. Can you talk about any other details of your experience with this?
The heart rate remains the same, but I feel better anxiety-wise, which is why I was prescribed it. Steill, I', concerned about the increased heart rate. The doctors say wait and see. Thanks
Yes, I am experiencing increased heart rate after taking gabapentin. I've been taking this drug for 2 weeks now, and I've done an extensive search of possible side effects, but have not found rapid heart rate listed anywhere. MIne normally is in the 75-85 range, but now I'm in the 90-115 range. That's too high. I'm hoping after my body gets used to the gabapentin it will return to normal. If it doesn't, I will have to cease taking it. The other side effects I experienced over the first week have all pretty much gone away....mild high feeling, unsteadiness, hunger (got the major munchies the 2nd day), and kind of spaced out but still able to perform work functions.
