Yes, I have been only taking 300 mg at night for the past 3 nights. I have been waking up feeling just not right with a racing feeling. Tonight I got up and put my blood pressure cuff on and I have a heart rate of 106. This is an alarming rate while sleeping. Especially since I normally have a rate in the mid 60s. My blood pressure was 123/78 which is also a bit high for me. Again, especially high for sleeping.

I have also been on this for about two weeks now and have noticed the rapid heart rate. Today I went to see the doctor and they acted like it was no big deal and doubled the dose because the tingling in my foot has gotten worse since I've been taking the stuff. If it keeps it up, or gets worse, I will be weening myself off of it (even before my next apt):/

My heart rate increased 20-40 bpm on 10 mg of gabapentine. I tried it for about a month. It also caused increased anxiety. I stopped taking it.

Yes, I am experiencing increased heart rate after taking gabapentin. I've been taking this drug for 2 weeks now, and I've done an extensive search of possible side effects, but have not found rapid heart rate listed anywhere. MIne normally is in the 75-85 range, but now I'm in the 90-115 range. That's too high. I'm hoping after my body gets used to the gabapentin it will return to normal. If it doesn't, I will have to cease taking it. The other side effects I experienced over the first week have all pretty much gone away....mild high feeling, unsteadiness, hunger (got the major munchies the 2nd day), and kind of spaced out but still able to perform work functions.

The heart rate remains the same, but I feel better anxiety-wise, which is why I was prescribed it. Steill, I', concerned about the increased heart rate. The doctors say wait and see.
Thanks

And how are you feeling right now ? Did you notice these effects every time you took the Gabapentin ? Rapid heart beat is not specifically listed as a side effect of this medication, however there are other side effects which may be related ... such as dizziness, tremor, nausea, blurred vision. Have you had any of these? Medications which have a neurological effect on the body can certainly come with their own complications. Can you talk about any other details of your experience with this?
