Headaches and gabapentin

Hi........I've been on gabapentin for 9 months now and it works wonderfully for my RLS. However I've been waking up with a headache on a daily basis now for around 6 weeks. Is this a normal side effect? Does anyone else have this problem?

I do not get headaches from gabapentin, but am on a very low dose. Make sure you’re drinking enough water, maybe that could be a contributing factor.

Not what you're looking for?
