I am taking 600mg/night of Neurontin for insomnia - been taking it for 1 month now. The next day after I took it, I noticed stomach irritation (my lips get weirdly chapped when my stomach is irritated). I started taking it with food and that seemed to help the irritation a little, but I still have nasty acid reflux and constipation as well. Anyone else have similar experience to this from Neurontin?

Yes I take neurontin for neuropathy for my right foot. I've been having awful acid reflux every night. Now that I'm hearing from someone else, I know now for sure, it's the neurontin that's causing constipation and acid reflux, also weight gain.

I quit neurontin over a year ago. My constipation and acid reflux also went away once I stopped.

Check this link, you'll see there's enough possibility, and it could also be an interaction, best to tell your r about this asap.

Thanks. I let my doc know already. I was just curious if others have experienced this too.
