My primary doctor put me on gabapentin 300 mg twice a day. He said that that would help postherpetic neuralgia. from within, he said no cream would make the difference. I’m concerned about taking that’s stronger dose of gabapentin. Some people have said that it may cause dizziness do I have concerns. Will this help? Does anyone know I had shingles six weeks ago and this is the remenents.

I am in a similar situation. Had shingles on my left trunk 6 weeks ago. Since then I am experiencing back pain and tingling at all times. Can only sit in bed with pillows to feel slightly better. Also was prescribed Gabapentin. Helps only slightly. I am just beginning to pursue remedies as I am concerned this is not going away even though shingles is no longer active. I was also diagnosed with AFib last week. Any thoughts on connections between shingles, gabapentin, and AFib?
