I've been taking Gabapentin since 2005. I use to take one in the morning and one at night and I had no pain. Then a couple of years ago I would get some burning pain next to my little toe on the right foot, so I started taking both pills at night. That worked for a couple of years, but the pain came back regularly.
I told my doctor about the pain and that I was taking 2 at bedtime but that was no longer working. After seeing commercials for Cymbalta and Lyrica I asked if I could take them. He said you can take up to 2700mg of Gabapentin per day. So he said take 2 in the morning, 2 in the evening and 2 at bedtime, that's 1800 mg. I started that dose about a year ago and have not had any pain since.
