After increasing my dose of Gabapin NT to twice a day, I started experiencing dizziness, body aches, headaches, nausea, and weakness; should I stop taking this medication, and how can I manage these side effects?
It is very common to experience temporary side effects like dizziness, nausea, and headaches when increasing your dose of Gabapin NT (gabapentin/nortriptyline). Please do not stop taking this medication suddenly, as abruptly discontinuing it can lead to withdrawal symptoms or worsen your condition. Instead, contact your prescribing doctor right away so they can safely adjust your dose or guide you through a gradual taper. To manage these symptoms in the meantime, try to rest, drink plenty of water, and rise very slowly from sitting or lying down to reduce dizziness.
