  • Avoid antacids two hours before or after taking Gabapentin, as they can reduce absorption.
  • Avoid alcohol, as it can increase dizziness and drowsiness.
  • Consult your doctor if you experience mood changes, worsening depression, or thoughts of self-harm.
  • Do not stop taking Gabapentin abruptly; consult your doctor for a safe tapering plan if necessary.
