I didn't really notice any side effects at first, they did appear but are not too troublesome. Tiredness - which i think is due to the Gabapentin and also a general feeling of what i can only describe as 'brain fog'
As i said neither is particularly troublesome and it does not affect my bowels at all. My GP said it was very important to slowly increase dosage until you find the perfect level and it took 3-4 weeks to feel the full effects but it was worth it!
I don't really feel dizzy at all, just forgetful.
And no swelling of any kind.
