@boconn89 , Darned if I didn't fail to take the whole 400 mg gabapentin last night, only took 300, and hardly slept after 2AM due to nerve pain in that darn toe!
I take Buspar, too, and my younger self would be very judgemental!
After all this time, wouldn't you think I'd know better!
I just hope this isn't a "new and improved" phase! I had forgotten the misery of night time nerve pain! 400 tonight!!

@yellowdoggirl. I see that you take gabapentin. How long did it take to adjust to the medicine. My neurologist started me on gabapentin 100mg for restless leg syndrome. The headaches are terrible! And she wants me to slowly taper up to 300mg twice a day! I can’t even imagine! Did you have headaches or anything else?

I do not have your toe pain, but I do have Jaw Pain (Trigeminal Neuralgix). Gabapentin did not help me at all, but I am taking a very small amount of Progabolin 50 mg once a day and it is all I need with the help of Baby Teething Medicaton. I cannot take larger amounts of the Progabolin because It just puts me instantly to sleep. If I take it before bed, I usually sleep 7 hours, and this is with a CPap machine humming in my ear.
