Odd neurological(?) symptons. Not sure if it's medication or something else.

[Cocolepew]

I'm on Gabapentin for neuropathic pain, after a Lupus, flare. I'm gradually increasing my dose.

Today I felt very out if it for a while. I've had the feeling of water dropping on my head and one side of my face felt numb. By dinner time I had a very small problem of opening my mouth. I've had a rushing sound/feeling in my head on and off.
I was able to make dinner etc.

I have pins and needles and numbness around my mouth but I've had this for weeks.

Is anyone on Gabapentin and do these symptoms sound like side effects from it?

Thanks .

I'm on gabapentin. I have occasional feelings of being a bit disconnected with things, but nothing else like you describe.

I can have strange feelings in my face, but that's related to the trigeminal neuralgia that I take the gaba for in the first place.

Thanks, disconnected is just the word I was looking for .
I've had a lot of funny nerve type things since my last flare, I think they are connected to that.

I worry I'm having stroke

It's worth getting checked out, Coco. x

I looked at the stroke stuff fab. I think I am slighty higher risk because of the Lupus.
If I still feel odd in the morning I'll phone my gp.

Thanks for the replies

I'd that disconnected feeling on Gaba (on amytriptaline now).

But the odd sensations - I'd be looking for advice tonight/tomorrow at latest (I have a neuro disability and have to contact my ward with things like this).
