I asked you about your dose since there are a number of researchers who believe Gabapentin is ineffective because their dose may be too low.
My brother is currently taking 3,600 mg which is effective but at 2,400 mg wasn’t. I took 3,600 mg that didn’t help my seizures or Neuropathy. Someone took over 7,000 mg (7,200 I believe) and was finally helped at that strength. I’m not suggesting you take 7000 mg but just because studies show many people respond at 1800 mg. doesn’t mean everyone responds at that dose.
Beat wishes,
Jake

I take 300 twice daily and 800 at night… fortunately so far at least (2 months) pain and burning 90% under control. But if I drink even small glass of wine… symptoms return with vengeance.

Thank you; have you taken Cymbalta or Lyrica?
