I take Gabapentin 300mg 2 x a day for pain.

It helps me. I take 800 mg 4x a day. I have chronic pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, spinal stenosis, ddd, osteoarthritis throughout my body. I’m also on hydrocodone 3/day and Baclofen 3/day. I’m on loads more medication but that’s about it for pain.

When I broke my leg & discovered in allergic to tramadol my doctor put me on gabapentin 300mg every 8 hours & Tylenol. I had break through pain but he said that is normal even under the best of circumstances. After surgery I was on gabapentin, pregabalin & cyclobenzaprine every 8 hours. I had pain the entire time for 2 months while on them. Slowly the pain did get better as I healed. I'm down to only once a day, so I'm happy about that. I have been told that no medication is 100% affective at reducing pain. Weather, activity, mid, etc week affect how well it works. If you are having frequent breakthrough pain then talk to your doctor about increasing or creating a custom concoction of meds

I’m at 600 mg three times a day and I’m finding it doesn’t do much

It’s didn’t help me but Lyrica seems to

I was taking 600 MG 3xd and it never really did anything. I was on it for 15 years, now I have massive memory problems. Lyrica was a blessing for me.

It helps me doc said he could increase if needed

😥 I tried that for years with no change in my pain also. They never tried anything else until recently. I found a doctor that let me try another medication and it works! I had restless leg syndrome and cramps that kept me up all night. I'm not sure if the spelling. I think it's Ropinarole! That spelling is wrong but close enough! There is actually several I could have tried.

Helps with my nerve pain slightly. Tho I’m on 600 three times a day. 300 wasn’t enough. But I also take tizanidine for my pain too. 4mg three times a day as needed. But I’m not well managed.

I started on 300mg once a day and it quickly made my anxiety awful. I had never been that constantly anxious since taking anxiety meds so it was almost scary. Also didn’t help even a little bit with the pain but that could’ve also been since I was taking such a low dose for it

Yeah it helps with pain management but it will also help you forget years of your life good luck

I've been on gabapentin 800mg 3 times a day for 28 years with cymbalta 120mg a day and 10mg Flexeril at night, not for muscle spasms, but for stage four sleep...this combo has worked well for me over the years...

It doesn't really help my pain much. I'm on 900 mg a day . My Dr has me take 600 mg during the day and 300 mg before bed

I'm on 300 3x a day and it doesn't do anything.

I take 800 4xs a day, hydrocodone 4xs a day, marijuana gummies 1/2 to 1 gummy at least 3xs a day. I am also on other meds as well.

I'm on 400mg 4x a day. It helps a lot, but gives me memory fog.

I got addicted to gabapentin over the course of 2 years and had to taper down in the summer. Experienced terrible withdrawal symptoms such as bad anxiety, agitation, and depression and it made me suicidal.

Nope it's a dirty dirty drug, I use pregabalin

i was on 800mg 3x a day of gabapentin and did not find that it helped my pain whatsoever. i just started lyrica and have seen slight improvement

I used to take gabapentin for anxiety, and it didn't really manage my pain as well. Now I take pregablin and that's a similar drug that works better for pain, although it works less well for anxiety. You'd have to have a high dose of gabapentin if it's for pain

I nearly lost a lot thanks to gapapentin its very dangerous it affects your memory, your ability to function. I ended up at neuropsychiatry due to the fact doc thought I had early onset dementia, it was the drug
