Default Wow...great question...trial and error

I am a big guy, and have titrated up to 3600 mg of Gabapentin. I had started taking Gabapentin at the end of September '08. Aside from occasional drowsiness, I notice nothing. Perhaps my pain would be egregious without it, don't know. Lyrica did not work either. I am awaiting full diagnosis...however I did reach the 3600 mg mark November 12th. From the medical rags I have read, you usually have to give it 6 - 8 weeks at dosage to see if it works. Humdinger, huh? Hang in there...I am trying to do the same!
