Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

I am new and not sure how to post a question so I am sorry if I am doing this incorrectly. I just started on Gabapentin 300 mg at night 15 days ago and it has allowed me to sleep helped lessen my widespread whole body dysesthesia (face and every part of my body that started suddenly in Jan 2021) somewhat but had to still put CBD cream or combination of Sarna Original or Sarna Sensitive over most of my body during day. Doctor added 100 mg Gabapentin at 8am which I took this morning and now my pain is completely different and worse. Burning is a combination of an intense burn and prickling. Has anyone else had this when first going on additional doses and if so does it get any better?

Hello @marenew - Welcome to Connect. I have no experience with dysesthesia but I'm hoping other members will be able to answer your question. @nanna and @dablues have mentioned dysesthesia in other discussions and may be able to offer a suggestion.

Have you discussed the worsening of your symptoms with your doctor to see if they might have a suggestion?
