Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Gabapentin is well known for tolerance issues. Many patients find it wears off, after several weeks, and needs dosage increases.
In the end, it may stop working altogether. Studies show it only works for some about 30% of the time.

Gralise is just another dosage form of gabapentin, only it releases the drug over a longer period of time.

So discussion with your doctor may help you decide what to do.
