What is the strongest dose of Gabapentin?

My original prescription was for one 100mg before bed for 3 nights and then on the 4th day take one 100mg in the morning and one 100mg before bed until the 30 day prescription with 1 refill was finished.

"WHAT A JOKE"! Time to play Dr.

I began to take one 100mg in the morning, one 100mg at lunchtime and one 100mg before bed with no affect.
Next day 200mg 3 times a day.
Next day 300mg 3 times a day.
Next day 400mg 3 times a day.
Next day 500mg 3 times a day.
I call the Dr. on call from the hospital that treated me. I tell her of my endeavor and she request for me to come see her at her private practice.
(I have no Doctor, My 1st Dr. retired, My 2nd Dr. died, My 3rd Dr. retired)!
No Dr.'s are taking on new patients in this community and there is no waiting list to receive 1 due to them saying theres not enough Dr.'s here!
I tell her that at 1500mg per day the ache was gone in my left arm just below the elbow and just above my elbow as well as in my left shoulder rotator cup. But the buzzing and tingling in the last two fingers up to my tricep was still very much prevalent. She increased the dosage to 180 - 300mg to be taken 3 times per day. So the maximum amount of dosage as per prescribed by the Dr. was 2700mg per day at 3 preset intervals.
I'm still getting consistant buzzing and tingling! Do I continue to play Dr.?

The Real Story about DRUGS...

DRUGS do not correct or fix any non surigcal application!

Drugs cover up / mask the symptoms created from the original condition (injury) that is causing you pain or discomfort.

The Dr. / Pharmaceutical industry is a multi billion dollar falsity!

You need to cure the problem, not cover it up!

I exist as a person on a disability, I was born with a very rare disease called
Ecdodermal Dysplasisa I wear a copper braclet, I make my own Colloidal Silver to injest as well as use for eye drops for my keratoconus. I know I need a vitamin,mineral,nutrient supplement, but the government (TheMachine), deny over 90% of the applicants requesting the neccessary nutrients required due to a FDA regulation on herbal and mineral remedies.

Lyrica (Pregabalin) and Neurontin (Gabapentin) are very similar in chemical structure, and have very similar chemical properties. The only main differences are that Lyrica is more potent than Neurontin, which doesn't necessarily mean it's stronger, It just means you would require a much larger dose of Gabapentin (Neurontin) to equal the effects of a very small dose of Pregabalin (Lyrica). It's ABSOLUTELY VITAL you take your Gabapentin with FOOD. Preferably something with a bit of fat in it, that does not contain high amounts of calcium, magnesium, zinc, aluminum or other metals. Antacids contain metals, such as the ones I mentioned above. Do not take something like TUMS or Rolaids with your Gabapentin. A perfect companion to your Gabapentin would be something simple, like a glass of juice, a piece of toast, and peanut butter, or some high-fat/protein spread.

This will increase the amount of Gabapentin that gets into your body, and you will definitely notice a difference and notice it helps you much more than if you take it on an empty stomach with juice or water. Taking the food with it is very important, and many doctors and pharmacists will not tell you that. It's also very important to know you should never take ANY of your medications within 2-3 hours of consuming iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, or other metals, etc. it will BLOCK the effect of 99% of medications out there, and you will be wasting your dose. Lyrica can be taken on an empty stomach, but Gabapentin has to be taken with a small meal or you're really cheating yourself of it's pain relieving properties. I used Gabapentin and thought it was useless until my doctor told me to eat a meal with it, and I noticed an effect similar to and better than Lyrica. My pain was decreased very much. I notice if I take it without the meal, I barely notice any effect. Try what I've mentioned! It will help if you're on Gabapentin!
