I don't have any struggles with gabapentin. I started at 600 mgs the first night. I had to increase to 1200 but have tweaked back to 900 mgs. I had no problems even with 1200 mgs. I just went to 900 for the savings. When I started with it as Neurontin, it was US $10 per 300 mgs.

It sounds like you doctor is not very familiar with it.

What symptoms is he trying to treat?
