Good afternoon @xant066, Welcome to Connect! This forum, Connect, is open 24/7. My understanding is that you are only taking about 2700 mg of Gabapentin a day and that is not doing a good job providing pain relief, or shaking relief, and many other issues. Is all of your pain from sports trauma and injuries?

Do you currently have a medical professional working with your health issues? Have you received any diagnoses? What other treatments or medications are you using?

I am here for you along with other mentors.

There is also a discussion thread ongoing [last activity less than a day ago] about gabapentin you might find interesting. Here is the link: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/terrible-reaction-to-gabapentin-300mg-cap/?commentsorder=newest#chv4-comment-stream-header

I was on gabapentin for a short time, and decided to wean myself off, with my oncologist's okay. The dose was only 300mg per day total. Yes, a very low dose, but due to failing kidneys, that is what we decided to have as a maximum dose [standard protocol for those on kidney dialysis] Seemed to me it just was not worth it!

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, by the way! What brings you to these pages?

I am a bit clumsy also and once in a while I'll have a charlie horse when I wake up. However, I'm on a different dosage. I take 300mg. at breakfast, 300mg. at lunch and 600 mg at bedtime. My doctor had me gradually work up to this dosage. Sorry it's not working out for you.
