"My max dosage was 300 mg 3 times daily; it eased the worst of the neuralgia (stinging and burning) and even the numb/tingling sensation. However, it interacted poorly with all other medications I took. I could not mix it with Baclofen nor any OTC allergy medicines that were effective for me. Outside of medication interaction, I had one side effect: not being able to orgasm, which was hard enough due to the lack of normal sensation I have. I did discontinue the gabapentin, but only because I needed effective allergy control more than I wanted neuro pain management."

"Use gabapentin 300 mg 3 x day! It helps ease the tingling and burning, but also makes me sleepy!"

"I am on 3600 mg of gabapentin, the max dose. 900 mg 3 times a day. Nothing works for my illness, but this dampens it down. On top of this, I have morphine patches and sodium valproate tablets max. The worst side effect, and there are many, is electric shocks all over the body and chest pain. It's a living nightmare, but what's available through the UK NHS doctor's bible is better than nothing. I don't pay for my drugs."
