I had some vertigo issues last year. Was the weirdest thing. Would turn the head a certain direction and the world started spinning like a kid turning circle and then stopping. You just lose balance. Feel for you TD. Hope you get it sorted out.

I've had awful vertigo issues for years now. Not fun feeling off balance and dizzy. Hope you get better soon.
Did you lose your balance a lot and feel like you were trying to walk sideways a lot, ears stopped up and hearing sounds that you could not locate and kind of a sick stomach feeling? Did it go away, or did you have to go to your doctor ? Oh and hard to get out of bed.
 
I think I may have found the cause of my balance problems.
I have been on 100mg of Gabapentin for Diabetic Neuropathy Pain in my feet.a nerve pain which is a burning sensation and feels like hundreds of needles stabbing all around my both feet that is so bad at night I can't sleep. I was on 100mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day which stopped the pain 90 % of the time but it stopped working and my last visit to my doctor on 8//8/2023, he doubled my dosage to, two 100mg 3 times a day, and my balance problem gradually got worse. Common side effects listed. And I had some but also some not listed. I will list the ones but not sure if it is this or vertigo.
My common side effects are listed in bold. The doctor said when I left a message, they should subside in 7 to 10 days. Want me to set up an appointment this week?
