Advice & Tips
I was on this drug back in 2004 or 2005 w/Dr Halle for shingles. Dr Chahal put me back on it and my dosage was higher, Dr Halle lowered dosage due to concern of liver functions

It is as if I speted back in time to 3 years ago, major pains due to dosage decrease, I am not sure if I will be able to just keep lowering dosage until it becomes what Dr wants 4 x 100 2 x 100 and 4 x100

Advice & Tips
I've done my research on Gabapentin and anything over 1800mg is a waste of medicine and money. If it doesn't work at this dose it won't help you. You need to take it at this dosage for at least one month to make this determination. Both my MDs and my homeopathic ND agree.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Advice & Tips
Have not taken it at the current dosage as of yet, Rheumy told me to add more as I go along since I have trouble with fatigue and I was concerned that taking 300mg 3x a day would have me in bed all day because I have only been taking the Gaba at night. Rheumy says at 100mg tabs I can add slowly to build it up without being tired. My hope is my fatigue and pain levels will be more positive.

When I first started the treatment the side effects were horrible. Tired, dizzy, foggy, throwing up. After about a month the side effects slowly wore off and I've been fine with the med since.
