Yeah, it is kind of a gray area since a rash can be a side effect or a symptom of an allergy. Since this is a new med for you, I think you are right to speak with the doctor. Hope all goes well.

Thank you for your reply. I held off taking the medication last night and I will make a call into the office to ask them about this. I'm very sensitive to medications and I get this same reaction to steroid injections. I'm unsure if it is an allergy or a side effect.
Hi, thanks for using the forum. I will do my best to answer your question with the information you have given me.
This question would probably be better answered by your doctor or a pharmacist, but I looked up Gabapentin (Neurontin) in my drug reference book and I didn't find any side effect listed that matched your symptoms. That being said, all drugs have side effects and the drug reference books can't list every possible one.
If I were you, I would contact my prescribing doctor and let him/her know about this. They can then advise you as to what they think you should do. Good Luck.

I meant to say, the redness covers much more on the right side.
