Sure. The Gabapentin is now at 600 mg, 3 times a day. However, I didn't begin that high. I was switching from Lyrica to the Gabapentin, at 300 mg, 3 times a day, originally. It was a Physiatrist who decided to increase it, and it helps a lot with my nerve pain. The Cyclobenzaprine has been the same since I started on it. I was switching from Tizanidine that literally made me fall asleep, even while walking! I take 10 mg Cyclobenzaprine, 3 times a day. I do think it tended to make me a bit sleepy originally. Not anymore. For me, it is way better than Tizanidine. They did try to switch me to Baclofen instead of the Flexeril, but that didn't work at all, for me.
