I have taken Gabapentin for 6 weeks for nerve pain in my leg. Last week I
completely lost sight in one of my eyes for at least 7 hours . It being the 4th
of July weekend Drs were off . My sight returned completely but 2 days later
my Optometrist checked my eye throughly and found no problem ! Has anyone had any eye problems taking this medication? I am scared to say
the least !

Thanks for the info. I didn't see it
listed as a side effect either but
wondered if possible anyone had
experienced any eye problems
as I did.

Thank you for letting me know as it's been frightening ! Did you loose
vision ? How long did you take this medicine ? I went completely blind
in one eye for at least 7 hours .

Hi Carolyn.Started on Gabapetin about 5 months ago starting at 200mg going up to 600mg along with being put on Mirtazapine and Tramadol during the same period and being weaned off of Paxil (20mg twice a day) for IBS and back related pain and anxiety/depression.Never had any eye problems.Did feel fogginess at first(not anymore),anxiety being upped often and colon spasms but that could be a combination of meds my coditions.Unfortunately it's hard to say as each person is different.Hope they can find out for sure what caused it.Prayers and God Bless You,Bob
