I have I was sent to see a Cardiologist they were so scary. For me, Valentin only made things worse.

Thanks for the reply. Gabapentin is the 2nd drug to do this to me lately. The other is Bentyl for IBS. I stopped one and still had the symptoms. I've stopped both now. So far no more heart symptoms. The palpitations are very scary.

Report it to yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk so the side effect becomes better known. At the moment it's listed as rare but I bet it isn't.

I didn't have heart palpitation but I had a horrible brain reaction that was freaky. Couldn't pull my thoughts together and spacey like I was high on street drugs. Very scary.
