Hi there!

I take 1200 3x p/day. I was told this is the max dose.. I also have vertigo, so with that and the gaba I am bouncing around all over the place. No sense of balance. I look drunk from time to time if you didn't know better. But for the neuropathic, shock type pain, I am not sure what I would have done without this drug. I am at a pretty high dose now and would like to back down a bit as my stomach would appreciate this, so my team has added a new drug called Zonisamide. It in combo w/ the gaba is working well. Now if we can just start to back off the gaba a little bit, that would be fantastic! We'll see.

Hang in there w/ the gaba and give it a fair shot to see what happens. Hopefully it will work well for you.
