I am not having sx due to gabapentin.
It merely failed to work at the lower dosaage/frequency

Hence the need to return to my typical dosing scheme.

I understand you were trying to catch up but why were you taking 400mg of Gabapentin at 1.20 in the morning?
The time is qquite normal.

Woudn't that keep you awake?
LOL, no, if anything at all it makes me sleepy. That effect lessens as I get used to it.

Hope that clears things up.

I've taken gabapentin before at 1200mg a day for migraine prophylaxis so I'm quite familiar with it.

I am aware of a possible issue with the reflux due to its mechanism of action. The doctor said it was fine (he might not be aware). In regards to that I'm being vigilant. A palliative for the prickling is very desirable at this point, so I hope it does work for that, and give no problems otherwise.
