Yes, I have been taking Gabapentin 300 x 3 daily for about three years. It was the first thing that really helped. I sometimes forget to take my afternoon pill and A couple hours later I will be in so much pain. So try to take your pills at the same time every day.
I currently take 300mg of it 3x a day along with 100mg of tramadol 3x a day. It seems to be helping me. I do notice that if i miss a dose, which i have done twice since being on this dose, by time i get home from work, my legs start hurting within an hour of being home, the same pain that got me put on this meds. So i try to not miss any doses now. When i first started it, i was on 100mg 3x a day and 50mg tramadol 3x a day. Took my first dose at 3pm, by 5pm i was ready for a nap lol But now it doesnt even make me sleepy nor have i gained any weight, if anything, i lost 14 pounds between may and july and dont know how lol
Dr just uped my gabapentin to 200mg 3 times a day. I've been taking it morning, afternoon and nighttime. I believe it's helping.
Sorry never helped me at all but we are all different it what we tolerate so good luck!
I take 600mg at night. It helps.
