Gabapentin 3x A Day Or 4x A Day?
Those of you taking gabapentin, how often do you take it? 3x per day or 4x per day? I have seen and read about people doing both but I was wondering if it is better to take more doses (not more than prescribed though) or the 3x per day as prescribed? I take one 300mg dose in am, one 300mg dose at lunch, and two 300mg pills at bedtime. I feel like a whole new woman and can do so much more than before. But I want to get the most out of the med I'm taking. Any thoughts?
I take 600 mg 4x daily. Its made me feel a lot better too but my doctor said ,300mg is just a starter dose this why he uped it. I would say talk to ur doctor tell them how u feel n maybe look at uping it. I know it goes up pretty high. Like 900 mg 4x daily. But of course ask ur doctor first
I was recently put on gabapentin and I feel like a new women. It's not a miracle worker by any means, but it certainly helps.
I was prescribed 300 mg at 3 times a day; however, because it makes me very dizzy, I only take it morning and night. I feel this could also leave room for a medication increase if I needed it down the road. Gabapentin is maxed out at (approx) 3600mg daily. Which is around 900mg 4 times a day.
If you only started your about 2 months ago and started low and worked your way up to the full prescribed amount, then you may not be up to full therapeutic levels yet. It took me about 2 months and started at full dose. Or it could be you aren't taking the right dosage yet. I think my doctor told me the max dosage a day was 3600mg. I may be wrong but I know it is up pretty high.
I take 400mg 3xa day but if have a bad day I take paracetamol on top of that I also take amitriptyline 30 mg at night
I take 500 mg three times a day
