Gabapenten is one of those meds. that some people can take higher doses, and some cannot. I was one that couldn't. There are also people on this site that can help you read your MRI if you need that. If this is nerve pain from the disks, I don't know many other drugs specific for that. I had severe muscle spasms, and was prescribed Soma and that helped with the pain issues. What other things has your doctor suggested? Glad you found Neuro Talk. Welcome to the site. You will find good people to help you. ginnie
