Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?

Good morning,
I was just curious what dosage you were taking?
Perhaps all you need is an increased dose or have you tried that?
The maximum dose of gabapentin is 3,600 mg per day provided and side effects if any, are manageable. Perhaps adding another medication to Gabapentin might be beneficial.

For some time, I was taking 3200 mg Gabapentin a day but it caused a major problem with my intestinal system. I dropped to 2400 mg day. I am actually looking forward to the trial with the SCS . I also have a intrathecal pain pump and have been on 4 mg of morphine a day through that for almost 15 years. Unfortunately, opioids don't work on neuropathy. Perhaps if the SCS works, I won't need the pain pump replaced next year when the battery runs out. It will be the third pump for me .
