bladder problems

[Catbennie]

does anyone taking gabapentin have bladder problems. I take a small dose of GABA and I am experiencing a bit of pain passing urine and not feeling like I have emptied my bladder, is anyone else experiencing this?

It is not a known side effect of gabapentin. That said people react differently to medication. If you have just started the gabapentin you could try stopping it to see. However if you have been taking i for awhile, I wouldn't do this as you need to come off it slowly to avoid withdrawal effects. The most likely cause is a urinary tract infection but there can be other causes. See your doctor.
