@bobrogers A lot of these drugs are dangerous & have terrible s/effects. I have refused a lot of medications for Osteoporosis & seizures caused by a TBI, some Drs have refused to see me again to even try to discuss an alternative treatment.
I have superficial siderosis. It has caused nerve damage. I was on 900 mg every night. No side effects. Also no side effects for going off of it. Please see Mayo Clinic/Steve GRINSTEAD about a news. Paper article about. SS. I hope and pray the best for you.
I take 800mg, 3 in the morning and 2 at night. It's a high dose but it controls my psychogenic tremors caused by severe PTSD. I've been on this dose since 2012 and had NO side effects in all these years. I've had to explain to any new doctor that I don't have nerve pain or neuropathy because it is not well known that Gabapentin has other uses. If I didn't take this dose amount I'd look like someone with Parkinson's. It's been a miracle drug for me
