morning, noon and night
I take it in the morning and at dinner 200 mg
I tried Duloxetine but it made my head feel weird.
200 mg, two times day
I have been taking Gabapentin for maybe 20+ years. I take two 300mg three times a day…so 1,800mg/day.
I have done well on it, decreasing the pain level a lot.

2 ReactionsI'm so happy that it works for you.
Please remember to always take care of yourself.
Tried it one time. Stood up and almost fell out my bedroom window. Super dizzy. I live alone so can't risk falling.
I take both.

1 Reaction300 mg, 3 x per day is 900mg daily - correct?
That is what I am prescribed, so it caught my eye. ( I think you put 1800mg max per day - is that because you can go that high if you need to?)
I take it, as needed, up to 300, 3 x per day. If I am in a flare up, I will take that much, otherwise, I usually just need 200mg, 2 x per day.
