Hello Cody Potter 62 as to your question, do I take gabapentin for the pain? Yes, I've only been taking 600 milligrams because I have third stage kidney disease so I was told that's all I could take. But then I went to the Mayo clinic and they said I could take 12 to 1400. So I'm increasing slowly now. I sure hope that helps. Is the amount that you're taking working for you? Thanks for your reply, carolyn

Lamkj5 I'm sorry I responded to someone else as a mistake. I'm so new with this. I don't know if I'm going to get the hang of it or not. You would ask me if I take gabapentin and my reply was to someone else. I'm sorry but what I was trying to say is yes but I have third stage kidney disease so I was told I could only take 600 MG but after visiting the Mayo clinic they told me I could take 12 to 14. Thank you for responding. It's interesting to me that you can take that amount. How high can you go on gabapentin do you know? Is the amount you are taking working for you. What kind of symptoms do you have and how long have you had it? Sorry about the mix-up, sending it to the wrong person. If I keep practicing I may get it right. LOL carolyn
