I have been on 200 mg of Gabapentin in the morning for the past couple of months and the severity and frequency of throat clearing is improved about 50% which I am very happy about! Some days it is barely noticeable.
From what I have read Gabapentin is most effective 2-3 hrs. After taking. Most of my throat clearing is mid morning (not sure why) and my ENT said it is fine to take it once per day. If your problem is all day you may need more frequency.
I tried 300 mg but it made me feel very clumsy and off kilter. I do hope you find relief as I totally understand your frustration!

I was prescribed Gabapentin. It seems the theory is that throat nerves are overreacting to normal mucus and creating the sensation that there is more mucus there than is actually the case. Gabapentin is supposed to numb the nerves and reduce the distress. I didn’t detect any relief. That was a few years ago. Might be worth trying again.

Thanks for your message!
