@jakedduck1 Yes, incrementally. But I'm far from reaching the dosage Dr. aims for.
So 300 mg was the max I reached, for one dosage.
Can you share what your experience has been?
thank you

I couldn’t even handle 100mg. About 3 hours after I took it I would be so dizzy and stumbling, but I don’t tolerate any medications well.

I first took Gabapentin titrating up to 3,600.
But since it didn't help my neuropathy or seizures I stopped taking it.
I never had problems starting or stopping meds.
Later I was put on 900 mg for another problem but it didn't help either so I stopped again. And years later once again (1200 & 1800 mg) but again it was unsuccessful. I once read Gabapentin is helpful only about 30-50% of the time. I also took Lyrica since it's supposed to be more effective. But it never worked for me either.
Take care,
Jake
