I had this happen when I first started Neurontin as well, the good news, it does wear off after awhile. It is basically just a vertigo type thing, I also got it when I stood up too fast. It just isn't causing you a straight out dizziness.
Some people may have side effects while taking NEURONTIN. Side effects are usually mild to moderate in severity. The most common side effects in patients with nerve pain are
Dizziness
Vision problems
Clumsiness
Sleepiness, tiredness
Shaking or tremor
Swelling of hands or feet
Weakness
Diarrhea
NEURONTIN may cause other less common side effects. For a complete list, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
