I have been on Gabapentin for almost 2 days for Trigeminal Neualgia and, touch wood, the pain in my head, eye, sinus, ear and all up the side of my left side has gone and only half way through my second day! I take 1 tablet in the morning and 1 at night and the dose is 300 mg. I'm hoping I don't gain weight. I am a participant in the Mayo Clinic Diet program losing weight slowly but surely. Kudos to the Mayo Clinic. It is my go to source for everything medical and my doctor, of course, approves of my resource. The doctor in Emergency also approves!! Thank you so much Mayo Clinic all staff!!

The doc prescribed 300 mg 3 times a day, but instead, with doc permission, I started with 100 mg 3 times a day for the trigeminal neuralgia (isn’t that the worst pain ever!). Didn’t like how tired I felt, so went to 100 mg twice a day. Now I take 200 mg at night, period. It’s amazing how that takes care of the trigeminal neuralgia pain! I have not had any weight gain.
I take 100 mg during the day if I need it for the stenosis pain.
