Hi - I have been in Gabapentin and st a dose of 800mg 3x a day for about 9 years now. I am allowed to take an extra pill or portion of one if I ever feel the need, but I can’t recall tge rare times I’ve done that. On occasion I have missed a dose, but that’s not recommended!

I am lucky to not have any side effects. It is possible that u get a little brain fog or fatigue, but I’m not certain it’s not aging or just how I push my body. It’s important for me to take the med regularly, because I will usually feel the nerve pain start to kick in to remind me that I’ve missed a dose, then it may take a few rounds before the medication works at an even keel for me. It works great in eliminating my nerve pain to where I function without thinking about pain. Since I usually walk with a walker, my legs tire easily and if I over exert myself, the medication seems to wear off a little sooner and I look forward to my next dose. The medication is metabolized through your kidneys, so it’s easier on one’s liver. The medication does nothing however for numbness; that’s a non-stop symptom that I’ve never found anything to stop.
