Thank you for the virtual hug it made me feel better! I was on Gabapentin for many years for Peripheral Neuropathy. It worked at first, but they had to keep upping and upping my dose up to 1,200. I didn't like the way it made me feel so I weaned off and began another treatment. Now my 80 year old mother is on it and her Dr. is starting to increase the dose. She is up to 600 mg now, up from 200 very quickly. She lives alone. I am handicapped and can't drive so I'm very worried about her. She seems to be sleeping every time I call her.
