Are you allowed to drive once on gabapentin?

I wouldn't recommend it. I was arrested recently for gabapentin 16 hours after i took it. After a lady hit me from behind. The accident was her fault totally and they just gave her a ticket and let her drive away while i was arrested

Hi there i was on the gab and the only thing it did was make me very itchy. I had no pain releif and no other side effects. But every one is differnt, right?
I was allowed to drive cause i was not drowsie at all.

I must agree with pledge, if you feel comfortable and that weird "stoned" feeling that some patients experience is gone, then by all means, drive.
(some folks feel quite wonky on Gab or Lyrica and one must wait until that's gone to drive)

Hello Wales915. If you feel comfortable yes, you can drve while taking Gabapentin. Regards pledge

Sort of like driving drunk. Reaction time can be reduced. A drunk doesn't feel it. I am sitting with two people who take that and both were advised not to drive with it, they have found over time one does not get used to it anymore than having a couple of drinks, and their meds said nothing but the doctor did warn. One person actually started to black out while driving a long time after starting the med.

I agree with Kaismama about this. I took it to control pain from a damaged nerve. When I felt good, I began tapering off. I talked to my doctor about it. The doctors told me not to drive if I felt woozy. I woke up- got stretched out- took a little walk to see how the pain and gabapentin made me feel-and I was good to go--

Its advised that you take it and not drive until you are sure how you are going to react to it. I drive all the time, it has no effect on me.
