Good evening @strikeanerve. I don't think I have had a chance to say Welcome. Where have you been? (Just teasing.). I have been reading other members posts about gabapentin. I take 900 mg before bedtime. I cannot tolerate it during the day and have chosen medical cannabis for pain control. So why gabapentin? I was reminded of gabapentin's value a couple of weeks ago. Without knowing it, I forgot to take my 3 tablets at bedtime. I usually want an hour before bedtime during which the gabapentin reduces the numbness and burning in my hands. So.....I forgot to take it. The result was one of the most disturbing nights I have ever had. I couldn't relax and go to sleep. The pain began to throb. So......I finally realized what had happened at about 4 a.m. Took one capsule and finally went to sleep.

I won't forget my gabapentin again. It is critical for me to reduce the irritation in my hands so I can sleep. I might like Lyrica better. Do you think so?
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
