Is GLOMERULONEPHRITIS PROLIFERATIVE a side effect of GABAPENTIN ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of GABAPENTIN patients who developed GLOMERULONEPHRITIS PROLIFERATIVE.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 1 individuals taking GABAPENTIN reported GLOMERULONEPHRITIS PROLIFERATIVE to the FDA. A total of 32214 GABAPENTIN drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

QUESTION RHABDOMYOLYSIS	I almost died from a severe case of Rhabdomyolysis after being paralyzed from a cause that was never determined. I have Chiari Malformation w/Syringomyelia and neurologist wants to put me on Gabapentin. I have a few concerns about this medication one of them being that it has been shown to cause Rhabdomyolsis. In addition I've been told this drug causes rapid weight gain and hostility. I've had these reactions from Topomax, Seroquel and Effexor and am battling to lose 35 pounds from them. My concern is should someone that had such a severe case of Rhabdomyolsis take Gabapentin. I have been warned by several doctors and my Pharmacist against taking any medications that might cause it again. The thinking was that my being paralyzed was caused by medication, Abilify but they were never able to prove it. The Rhabdo set in after I had been laying on the floor for 7 hours screaming for help. I really am uncertain about taking this medication if it could cause Rhabdo again.	2015-02-24 11:27:47

QUESTION DEHYDRATION	I was prescribed 300 mg. of Gabapentin, twice per day, for an injured muscle during a surgical procedure. I took it along with 50 mg. of Tramadol twice daily. After about 2 weeks I was able to cut down the amount of both these drugs. After being on Gabapentin for about a week, I got my Prolia shot for osteoporosis on March 7. On March 24 I had a severe reaction and almost passed out at the drugstore and my blood pressure dropped to about 80 and the paramedics diagnosed the drop due to dehydration (I had about 3 8oz. glasses of water earlier). I was taken to the hospital and treatment was saline IV and kept overnight for observation. All tests done were normal. The hospital concluded the drop in blood pressure was due to hydration. My question is: did the Gabapentin cause the dehydration and drop in blood pressure or could it have been the combination of that drug and then the Prolia shot. Research on some web sites indicates a small percentage of both of these drugs causing dehydration. My doctor and I believe it was the Gabapentin since I had taken Prolia in the past without this side effect. Pauline	2016-06-20 14:57:28
