I am taking 300 MG capsules 3x per day.
About a year ago I started seeing a new doc who prescribed the max 1800MG per day (300 MG 6 times per day). I lost ALL muscle strength. Could not even crawl! I stopped taking all Gabapentin and this side effect (ataxia) went away.
I am now seeing another neurologist and informed him about my history. Gabapentin is helpful to me in lower doses and I have not noticed any side effects (other than constipation). I looked up the clinical trials of Gabapentin and ataxia is mentioned as a possible side effect. Now I research the clinical trials of any FDA approved drug that I am prescribed!
