Hi does anyone here have sweats with gabapentine???? Im on 3200mg daily.went on this 4 years ago and within 6 months the sweats began and are still with me 4 years later.

Yes, I had exactly the same problem. My GP switched me to Pregabalin which requires a far smaller dose to achieve the same effect, so I would advise you to talk to your GP.

I do not take this medication but I want to genuinely wish you all the best of luck with it.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi Diamondwendie, I do find it weird how we all react so differently to the various drugs they pile on us and the differing side-effects. I'm also on Gabapentin amongst others and I seem only to sweat on the back of my head and my hair gets soaking wet, but the rest of me is ok??? Go figure!

Hi faymoss my hair is exactly the same but all over,my face gets sooo bad it's embarrassing.,people stare at me and I really hate it, feel it's taken over my life I hate going out. Sometimes I take a flannel out with me.
