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
