I actually take 900mg of Gabapentin at bedtime. Do you take more than this? I hate to increase mine but if I knew that it would help I would actually try this. I can't take Cymbalta or Lyrica due to constipation issues but the Gabapentin doesn't do this to me. I am wondering if my inflammation is pressing on the Perineal Nerve by my knee. I know that 16 months out I'm so tired of being sore and stiff.

I take 2400 mg a day, half at night and half in the morning. I’m 5’10” and
216 lbs., which explains part of the dose.
I also have

CIDP/A
MSAN which should cause me a lot of periferal nerve pain but I have none. My doctors theorize that may be because I was on a high dose of gabapentin at onset.
