Every 12 hours is the perfect dosage for me but you might need to play with it and find what works best for you. If you do decide to take it, please remember to drink lots of water with it. It will help you feel better.
Uh.....this thread is 10 months dead.
Why are you responding to it in this manner?
There are ALA threads all over this BB.
I suggest you use the 'search' function on the top bar.

Even although it is ten months dead I have got so much out of it Bob. At my last Pain Clinic visit it was suggested I swap Gabapentin for Lyrica but was told I would have to wean myself from 2400mg down to 300mg per day before starting Lyrica- I was terrified of the pain during the weaning process so just dismissed this, I am now going back and telling them I have changed my mind.I may set another thread for advice on the weaning process when the time comes.
Thanks to whoever resurrected this thread it has been helpful to me.
