Im my opinion a good doctor.
I have been told by more than one doctor that gabapentin is the type of drug for the most part that depends on your side effects. I never had any side effects at all from gabapentin even at 3600 mg a day however it didn’t help my seizures nor did it help my neuropathy. My brother on the other hand who also takes 3600 mg is helped tremendously by it. In my brothers case he was started out at the usual dose which did little or no good but as his dose was increased it became more & more effective.
I know of many people on the maximum dose or above who do very good on it.
I knew of a man who took 7000 mg of gabapentin per day however it’s been a long time and I don’t remember whether he stayed at that girls or if it was affective for him. He to had no side effects from it.
Gabapentin an Antiseizure medication has a better side effect profile than some other Anticonvulsants. 3,600 mg is the maximum dose but that doesn’t mean a physician can’t exceed that dose if the think it necessary. I took many seizure medicines at or above the maximum dose to try and control seizures but for 44 years none were effective.

I was taking that amount as well, it made my body numb to touch, but didn't relieve pain, I threw up for 3 weeks and lost 30 lbs, when they cut me back to 100mg a day. Total nightmare
