I’m not sure what the grips are your doctor has regarding the two Tylenol. I believe the maximum dose of Tylenol is
3-4 grams (3-4,000 mg) which would be about 9-12 pills a day if my calculations are correct although I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
Am I understanding correctly that the gabapentin does not help your pain at all?
600 mg of gabapentin isn’t much and so if it isn't helping perhaps a higher dose would.
Do you know what concerns your doctor has about increasing your gabapentin? If he's telling you it's just because you are a certain age you need to tell him/her they'll have to do better than that. Do you have kidney disease, other health issues or taking other medicines that may interfere with it?
Are you having nausea, thinking problems, dizziness, memory issues, tiredness, problems with balance or other new symptoms since starting Gabapentin?
I took 3,600 mg without any side effects, the recommended maximum dose but it didn't help my neuropathy or seizures so I stopped it.
Best of luck to you and don't let your physician withhold treatment without sufficient justification.
Take care,
Jake

Hi Jake, thanks for your concern.I think your spot on when it comes to the age thing. I've heard it too many times. many old age problems i have now, i had before taking gabapentin. I started on 300mg. which did nothing, and then Doctor doubled it which also did nothing, and that's when the age thing came up again. I do alright in the daytime but at night it gets worse, so i take the pills then. i toss and turn trying to get my feet to stop hurting and so, at about 3 or 4oclock, i take one or 2 Tylonol and finaly get to sleep.I don't know how long i'll be able to take tylonol before i have other problems. so i guess i'll keep trucking, and some day hope i hit on something to help.i'm so thankful there are wonderful people like you out there who are interested enough to let me unload on, even though you have your own demons. I wish you luck in finding your own answers and thank you for your input. regards, Chas.
