Thank you for you reply and for the information. I’ve read through the link and have found other sources. Some say 3600 is max others 1800 max. I’ve been on gabapentin for 4 days and have read that gabapentin takes 1 to 2 weeks to be effective. I’ll be calling my doctor today because I don’t seem to be getting much relief. Thank you again for your help.

It’s very eary to call your doctor. Your likely not at a dose that is thereputic for you yet. Why not give it a fighting chance to help you before calling the doctor. 3,600 mg is the recommended maximum dose, not the absolute maximum dose. Some people take more than the 3,600 mg., Gabapentins dose is somewhat side effect driven.
Hopefully it will start to help you but if it doesn’t don’t hesitate to ask for a dosage increase. I knew someone who took 7,000 mg a day without any problems.
Take care,
Jake
