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.

Ugh, I think I live in fantasy land. I was really hoping the burning and stinging would go away with gabapentin.

Mike - you are able to sleep through the night? Was that always the case or did your pain wake you up and keep you awake before taking med?

Also, why did you switch to gralise from gabapentin? Also, you down dosed? how did you know you could do this? why did you try it? how long have you been on it?

One more thing, if you don't know it's doing anything but feel it if you miss a dose then that doesn't seem like it gives much relief?....
