@dodgebob, @issacmrobinson77, @dipperlip1 and others may have some thoughts on timing the dosages of gabapentin.
Has your doctor offered any suggestions based on your symptoms?

The neurologist started me on 300mg. I could not function…I was so very tired. I tried Lyrica and it made me tired, however not as bad as Gabapentin.
The cost of the Lyrica plus the side effects made me stop taking that too.
Now, I use topical medications like, Aspercreme for nerves, and magnesium lotion, or oil. The magnesium works really well. I get it on Amazon.

It’s hard for 1 person to tell another how much gabepentin will work for their neuropathy pain.
Trial and error seems to be the way it goes. Start low and increase if needed. Remember, in many people, this drug takes a few weeks to kick in. Good luck.
