Hello John and thank you.
My doctor has only mentioned gabapentin for my pain. She has said it is still a low dose and should be fine with citalopram.
Upon saying that, I had to speak to her today and she issued 100mg tablets for me. When I asked why not now 300mg 3x a day instead of 9 per day, she said just in case you have any side effects, you can reduce them.
This does not give me much confidence.
I did ask about other tablets and she said these would suit me best.
I have a physio session next week. Hoping this will help me too.
Many thanks

My husband started with 100 mags three times a day. After two weeks it was increased . Later it was increased to a total of 1800 daily and works very well.
I think it is normal to start at 100 as your dr said. I hope it works well for you.
