In US there a types of gabapentin .Neuotin Gabapentin is a type of 300mg capsules. It is most frequently used 1) to heal nerves 2) antiseizures (not for restless leg syndrome. Horizon Gabapintin is a product for 600mg pills that ARE for restless leg syndrome. I take the Neurotine 300mg (2) at night along with 2 of Ropinole(for restless leg syndrome (actual physical jerk). There is another Gabapintin that is more for Shingles.(herpes zoster). I have servere L-S pain and have had L-3-4 and C3-4 fusions. I live with constant pain unless in a recliner. So the questions is, what are you taking gabipentine for? The least strong pain medication is tramadol 50mg. I take it 2-3 tmes daily. I steer clear of sleeping pills. I got off of stronger hydrocordone pain meds. The minimum of some meds in combination seem to work the best for me.and others. I avoid any increases that might lead to augmentation( increrased pain from over use) Does this help? I am a retired Physical Therapist of 90 years old. I need a walker because of L-S that no one can help. Good luck. Question your Physician. Be pro-active. google and think of yourself.

@bill54321. Wow, thank you so much. That one paragraph is very helpful. You have described your situation and the differences in types of Gabapentin. I take 4.....300 mg capsules only at night In combination with medical cannabis. I think it is the best I can do right now. With a condition for which there is no cure, I just want to find a little joy in a day. The only way I can possibly do that is to be able to manage the pain and sleep at night. Distractions sure help and you have just got me thinking.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
