I take Gralise (time release Nuerotin) 1,200 mg once a day. I take it before I go to bed so I sleep through the foggy side effects. Before that I took the regular Gabepetin at one point 600mg 3 X a day but I was able to get that done to 400mg 3X a day.

My analagy on it is you really don't feel it work, but you feel it when you miss a dose. You don't feel immediate relief like taking something for a headache. It sort of builds up over time, probally weeks depending on your dosage. They start you low and build you up, being patient is hard I know.

The burning & tingling are still there but a duller sensation if that makes any sense.

The Dr's have had me try Cymbalta (not for me made me an angry person) and Lyrica (too much weight gain). What I like about the Gralise is when I'm having one of those days (flares) I can take a regular Gabepetin 300mg sometime during the day and it takes enough of the edge off that I don't need something stronger.

I hope you find something that provides you relief, we all know none of this is any fun.
