If you are Taking Gralise which is a time released form of gabapentin 2700 mg is quite high. Doctors typically will not prescribe over 1800 mg of Gralise in a day. Most of us are taking Neurontin though.
Gotcha! Wow, thank you! This is some great information! I looked at my prescrp bottle and it actually says Gabapentin. Is that the generic for Neurontin? See, I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about this, but isn't it the truth that we often learn we don't know as much as we think we do.
