This is probably a worn-out question... Just wondering if you can share your experience with Neurontin (Gabapenten). I used to take it years ago when it first hit the market for fibromyalgia but I do not really remember if it helped or what dosage I took. My specific questions are:

1. Does this drug work well for your nerve pain?

2. What is your effective dosage?

3. Side Effects?


I am taking 300 mg at night and it has done nothing for my nerve pain. I know this is a weak dosage, so I called my neurologist today for consult and he has increased my dosage to 300 mg x 3x day after a ramp-up over two weeks time. He said that I could go up from there, if necessary - up to 3,600 mg max per day.
