Gabapentin dosing

Posted by cecelia19 @cecelia19, Sep 24 2:04am

I’ve been taking my Gabapentin 200mg am then when the pain comes back I take another 100 mg and so on. At night before bed I’ll take 200 mg. Never more than 800mg total a day. I don’t seem to have good pain control throughout the day as it keeps rearing its ugly head throughout then I have to tamp it down with another 100 mg. I was given this instruction as needed.
Can you share the dosages you take and how you dose it and does it seem control the pain continuously all day or do you continually have to chase the pain like I do?
