Gabapentin

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Columbus, GA

Hello, Everyone!

Is there anyone out here that take Gabapentin? If so, does it work for you and what dose are you taking. My doctor tried me on the 100mg 3x a day but it didn’t help me at all.

Thanks! 😘🙏🏾

Hi, I take Gabapentin for pinched nerve in my neck. I was given same prescription as you. I take 2 instead of one at bedtime and this has helped tremendously. 😘

Re:Gabapentin.. Usually the doses are much higher for those that find it effective. Up to 1800 mg daily in divided doses.
I couldn't take any amount because it made me feel really terrible. I have heard that it works well for others with no issues though.

Taking it for epilepsy. Seems to help. Was already taking it and cymbalta for pain and for bipolar and fibromyalgia, totally helped the fibromyalgia pain. But we increased the dose. I have no idea if it helps my diabetes at all, because I was already taking it.btw, taking 1200mg 3x/day.
