Sometimes if the burning is really bad as I have neuropathy really bad also in my feet & hands I take an extra 600 mgs of gabepentin 4 hrs into the 8 hrs. My PM doc is good about letting me adjust my meds a bit when needed. Of course I have cleared it with him before doing so also.

Wow, Debby.. 1200 mg of gabepetin?? I would be on my face!!
That 75 mg. of Lyrica made me like a zombie, but I guess everyone is different. I wish you all the best Debby! I go have my 2nd. block this Tues. I hope this one lasts longer!! So far the 200 mg. of gabepentin I take before bed helps me so much!! I am going to ask my Dr. if I can take anymore of it during the day, as soon as I get up in the morning, it wears off. well Happy week end friend's.. I hope you all have a pain free day and my prayers and thoughts are with each and every one of you!! Love, Desi
