I started on gabapentin about 2 years ago, 100mg. 3 times per day then 200 mg. 3 times per day, all the while the Dr. touted it like it was some super drug that just needed time to work. By the time he took me off of it I was up to 800mg. 4 times per day, and every time he asked how I was feeling, it was always the same....no change. It was almost like he was expecting some kind of psychological cure after time I'd finally say it's working. Then he put me on pregabalin which is in the gabapentin family, again nothing, and all that time I was in real live pain.
