That sounds very challenging. I am on similar dosing and it works for me. Coming off of it for a couple would or could be tough. My pain has been similar to your but not so severe. We just added baclofen to the gabapentin and it seems helpful. Keep this in mind talking to the docs.

I started taking gabapentin but it didn’t work for me and I felt worse from side effects. I’m now on Baclofen 10 mg am and 20 mg bedtime. Works well for me and allows me to get deeper sleep now that I’m taking 20 mg at night. I also have fibromyalgia with pain in upper arms and shoulders as well as the nerve pain from neuropathy. The Baclofen is a muscle/nerve relaxer. I don’t have any side effects from it. I’m feeling so much better with more sleep!
