Anyone tried a time release medication for peripheral neuropathy?

Good morning Peggy,
What dose of Gabapentin are you taking?
Do you know the reason your doctor said you were taking the maximum dose? Are you having side effects?
How long have you been taking Lyrica? The drowsiness may lessen over time, usually weeks to months,
Jake

1200 mg twice a day. The next time I see him I will ask if I can take more. My neurologist told me that the anti-siezure meds relax the nervous system so it stops frantically sending erroneous pain messages. At high doses, the gaba can relax the nervous sytem too much ... our heart goes to sleep - we die painlessly in minutes. Doesn't sound too bad to me but there are two projects I need to finish before I leave this earthly realm ! Thanks for your input ! Peggy
