I have had peripheral neuropathy for several years. Recently, the pain has increased. I am currently taking gabapentin 600 mg. Would like to discontinue as I don’t think it is effective.
Welcome @faithmulqueen, Sorry to hear that your gabapentin treatment is not controlling the neuropathy pain. I only have numbness and some tingling with my neuropathy so gabapentin doesn't help me as it's only for pain relief. Have you talked with your doctor to see if there may be other medications that would work better?

I've been on gabapentin for years (900mg/day) for bipolar but it has not had any apparent effect on the neuropathy in my ankles & feet. I've now gone to wearing women's nylon thigh-high stockings + garter belts for relief of the symptons. Size Large act by compressing.
