Hi avalyn, I take 300mg a day of Gabapentin, I do not like taking any drugs if not necessary, I even shy away from Tylenol. Gabepentin can harm many organs, live, kidney just to name 2. I stopped taking it for 2 weeks and the burning in my thighs came back with a fury, took gabapentin 100mg and burning went away. I know now that I need to take it. Hoping that I do not have to increase dosage. Google it and see downside of gabapentin .
