I have mild neuropathy and several types of essential tremors. I have been taking 3--600mg gabapentin for 4 years with no adverse side effects. Every one is different and you should listen to your doctor. Before gabapentin my hand andarms shook so violently that I refused to go out in public. Gabapentin was a life saver and am glad I listened to my neurologist.

Hi,

Did you mean to reply to Stephen? I Am currently on Gabapentin...

Are you saying 3x600mg, as in 1800mg/day? Just curious.

I am currently titrating my dosage up from 2x300mg/daily, as my doctor states I can. But swear to dog, getting words out of him is like pulling teeth with a banana peel. (Actually, banana peels aren't a slippery as cartoons would have us believe, and pulling a tooth might be Easier with a peel. haha!!) He asked me (we communicated via messaging) three times how mcu gabapentin I'm taking. I answered him each time. I'm like, fella, scroll up. haha.

How were you Dx'd? I may try to switch Neuro's, but I might be getting different insurance soon. :/
