talk to your doc about the whole situation not just dose increase. Mention your difficulties with 3 x a day dosing, and wanting to take it only 2ce a day.
For neurological applications (sz, migraine, mood stabilization), it is usually considered better to take the daily amount of gabapentin split evenly over 3 or 4 doses... this is because it doesn't stay in the blood long but is quickly distributed into the tissues.
it might be different for pain mgmt/fibro - isn't that what you take it for? in that case, it may not make much difference at all... but please ask the doc. i know it is a PITA to take stuff 3 x a day... sigh. when i took it for migraines, i took it 4 x a day... arghhhhhh.
