I appreciate everyone's personal experiences. I am presently taking 600mg x3 daily of the gabapentin, and have played with all dosages that these scored pills will allow me, from 900-1800mg daily. My Neuro said to see if I could cut out a half pill daily, when he put me on this dosage, but that's not going to happen. I find that 600mg x3 starts wearing off between doses. I feel I'm really close to "comfort", and I have extra pills, from playing with lower doses. I'm going to try out a 4th dose of a half pill (300mg) in the evening, so I don't have a down time in between the 3x doses.

My Neuro said he would give me either Gabapentin or Nortriptyline or a combination of both, if I felt I needed it. I dislike so many doses with the Gabapentin, but can tell it's working. It's not perfect, but will take what I can get. I really don't want to start over right now, as I live in the Northeast, and snow & the extra activity is just around the corner. I'd rather deal with the devil I know, that experiment right now. I'm strongly considering asking my Neuro to switch me to the Nortriptyline in the Spring, and since there seem to be few that have been on both Gabapentin and Nortriptyline, I will share that experience with you. Pros & cons.
