I had the same experience with Gabapentin after destroying a disc in an accident. My feet have tingling but very little pain, thankfully. The Gaba reduced tingling maybe 10% at best. It also makes you slightly dizzy and sleepy! It is BAD stuff and has been shown to increase your chances of getting dementia! I would never recomend it to anyone. I got off it in one day with minimal withdrawal symptoms. This is a very old drug and is not safe or effective.

I was on the low dose like you with no help, then read on this site someone had relief when they took 1200 mg combined with 1200 mg alpha lipoic acid. With dr. approval, I slowly raised my dosage and received a great relief. It does not keep me from any pain, but the difference was. great
