headache as a side effect

[doublevision1]

I've had a persistent headache the past 3 or 4 days.  It is not severe; more like a dull aching fog across the top of my head and across my forehead.  Regular doses of Advil are doing nothing.  I started Neurontin a few days ago for the nerve pain in my arms.  Headache is not listed as a side effect from Neurontin as far as I can tell.  

I started Rebif 4 weeks ago and headache IS listed as a side effect.  However I would be suprised if it took this long for a side effect like this to show up, but perhaps this is not uncommon?

Third possibility is maybe eye strain due to my screwed up double vision; however I've had this for 6 months and persistent headache hasn't really seemed to be associated with this.

Anyone with experience with Neurontin and/or Rebif....have you had headaches caused by these meds?

Thanks for the info, Ada.  I have definitely felt a LOT more drowsy these past few days - in fact, totally exhausted, having to nap during the day which is unusual for me. Thought I might be on the brink of another relapse but perhaps it is just a side effect of the gabapentin, and maybe this accounts for the headache as well.

I did notice before that double vision was listed as a side effect which concerned me...on second thought, maybe with my double vision it will have the opposite effect, and make my eyes straight again.  ha ha.  That would be WAY too good to be true.

Anyway thanks for that.  I'm hoping it is the cause of my headache and not the Rebif.  If I had to give one up I'd rather it be the Neurontin.

Hey there Girl, I got this off of MedlinePlus and thought it would help you.  I take gabapentin and never noticed a headache with it but it could be a side effect for you.
I hope this helps.
