I am taking 2200mg gabapentin for pain imsomnia itching I am now wetting the bed help anyone else?

As a pharmacist I would suspect it to be due to the high dose or it could be the actual constituents or it could be a possible batch issue (an issue that is increasing as the united states continue to outsource pharmaceuticals). Contact your pharmacist and doctor because although bed-wetting could occur it is not a common side effect so that is a red flag. The higher the dose, the higher degree of side effects. One issue for sure is the dosage needs to be adjusted to YOUR body NOT someone else's body.

I’m taking only 300 mg and I’ve been noticing this! I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing the same. I’m 34 and have never experienced this before. I realized it started recently and this was my most recently added drug. I may discontinue now.

I am 40, and take up to 3600mg of gabapentin a day for pain from a head injury. Distance swimming worked for years, but now with a lot closed for the virus, getting a 2nd swim at night in is impossible, hence the doctors added the medication.

This is the second time in several months that I woke up with a small wet spot in the bed. This wasn't an issue before the medication and shouldn't be for someone in my age in great shape. I'm relieved to hear other people are having similar issues.

I may have some ideas to help as this is not a regular occurrence for me. I
I did drink more water than normal the night before. I also was especially tired from missing a nap. I'm going to try to not drink as much water at night, and not miss my nap (to not sleep as deeply.) I'm also going to get a plastic cover for my mattress, and unless this gets worse I'm just going to live with it.

That sounds like a dangerous high dose.
You really need to tell your Doctor

Same situation here too, I was taking gabapentin for nerve damage and pain from a spinal injury. I was taking 3200mgs daily and had nightly enuresis. I cut the gabapentin in half (with Dr.s permission) and the problem got much better. With the opioid crisis and pain meds greatly reduced I had a difficult choice- live with more pain or deal with Gabapentin side effects. I'm 57, and was injured in 2004. 15 yrs of pain has made me tired. I settle for depends on the nights I really hurt and take a full dose of gabapentin. It is what it is. Until they figure a way to keep people from overdosing on pain meds, this is what I live with.

Hi - I was recently prescribed Gabapentin after surgery and am now having leakage during the day and have twice now wet the bed in one week whereas I have never wet the bed before! Is anyone on this thread able to confirm stopping the Gabapentin stopped the bed wetting?

Hi Loretta are you still taking Gabapentin?
I have been taking them for about 8 weeks and I have also been wetting myself day and night time , even though my GP said it wasn't a side effect,
I googled it and many ppl say it is

Well that explains why I look for the toilet in my dreams!
I haven't yet wet the bed but when I got out of bed and bent over to put on my slippers I peed on the floor!!

I took this drug for seizures as it didn't help but I also wet the bed while on it! I didnt take it but for 2 weeks because I was having more seizures while on it. But, when I read your post I just had to answer it because I'm 38 and couldn't believe I wet the bed when it happened to me too!!

I've never heard of this as a side effect. It would be difficult to deal with. My first thought was that you might be sleeping deeper and longer, but when reading more that the "headline" of your post, it doesn't appear so. I take a very small dose of Nortriptyline (25 mg once a day) and it has alleviated most of the many side effects of Gabapentin for me. I wonder if it would help you. (I learned about this "trick" for the side effects from someone else who posted here, when I first stumbled onto the site.) -- Wishing you the best.
