I currently take 1200 mg of gabapentin 3 times a day. Bad news is it does not help me with any of my migraines. Gabapentin helps to calm down the nerve pain in my face and head. I also can not take any NSAIDS they cause asthma attacks. Last time I was in the ER for a migraine there cure was phengan and benadryl. My dr gives me phengan for when I get nauseous with a migraine. They are 2 cheap drugs that do help.
