First off: I would highly recommend calling your ER IMMEDIATELY and speak with a licensed nurse.
Let her (or him) know the dosage you took and how you feel. Depending on the amount of Gabapentin you've taken, you might experience more dizzienss and/or sleepiness. I, myself, have accidentally doubled my dose of Gabapentin after my dosage was changed and I was adjusting. I felt both dizzy and sleepy, and felt nausea as well. After some time the symptoms finally passed. Just a note: My dosage was only 1200 Mg. Good luck and take care of yourself,
Just to clarify. I havent taken it yet but wasnt sure so wanted to know what affects it would have on me
My dosage was changed from 600 mg to 1800 mg. I thought I forgot to take them. I took another dose of 1800 mg. I feel dizzy, confused, slow movements of fingers & feet, sleepy.
