Neuropathy feet ? Gabapentin
Started 100 mg last night gabapentin for feet and neuropathy and lower back. Bottle says every 12 hours I intend to only want something for nighttime care because I take supplements I like in the daytime as herbal for my adrenal’s and menopause. I only wanted to do it once a day is that OK? Understand is prescribed us twice, but some articles say it’s for nighttime because of preventing daytime drowsiness?

Nighttime sleep, feet issues neuropathy. Starting gabapentin 100 mg. Only want to use for nighttime if it’s once a day that’s my thought. I wanted this morning. I see it says twice a day prescribed anyone else use it for nighttime only?

1 ReactionI have the same issue Can I only take 100mg of Gabapentin at night? I’ve taken 37.5 mg Venflaxin for years Now Dr has me on 30 mg Dueloxin generic for Cymbalta and wants to increase that to 60mg then wean off Venflexin I’m very confused and concerned so have not increased the dueloxin as prescribed

1 ReactionI have found that taking a CBD/THC gummy around 8 pm allows me to sleep through the night, with one trip to the bathroom. It's wonderful.

2 Reactions@clee1946 I use Cymbalta in AM and Gabapentin in PM.
Feet nerve pain means that those nerves have lost a lot of their insulating myelin.
Vitamin c makes our nerves. Vitamin B12 coats them with insulation. Stomach acid extracts B12 from animal protein. But seniors have less acid, so we need to take B12 supplement. And seniors eat very little animal protein. Liver and mussels are the best source
Try METHYLCOBALAMIN , that's B12. But sorry. alcohol stops absorbtion.
Go for it . Am 83.5 with no nerve pain. Or joint pain
