Hi Robin,

I read: The pharmacokinetics of gabapentin require regular dosing, it will not work if dosed “as needed.”
I was on 600mg three time a day. Switched to Lyrica which was not as good for me. Some relief but worse side effects. I’m switching back but nothing “drug wise” works very well for me.

Best of luck.

Hi there - thanks for your response. I'm stubborn and hate taking all the medications I'm already on for other nuisances. So for now an extra gabapentin at night when I'm uncomfortable is enough to send me off to sleep so I don't notice that I'm being electrocuted! I suspect I'll need to go on regular dosing soon enough, but I'd like to avoid it for as long as I can. I stay really busy during the day so I don't notice the sensations until I settle down at night to try to sleep.
