I've been on this drug since 2011. I was taking 300mg, 3xday. It has made my hair fall out & just when I had gotten it to growing back, my doctor changed my dosage to 600mg, 3xday. Now my hair is getting dry & falling out really bad again.

I agree with Susiejo1948 that you should let your doctor know what is happening. Maybe there could be another medicine that would help you.

Good luck

Hi I was on gabapentin for a while but I got such bad hallucinations that they changed me to its 'sister' drug, Pregabelin. I've had no problems with this and have been on it since 2011.
