Guest guest Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi I too am on Gabapentin, but what dose are you on that your doc wants you to take it 8 times a day? I am on 600 twice a day. Yikes I can't imagine taking it that many times a day. What do you take it for if you don't mind my asking? I take it for nerve pain in my foot from my back surgery last year. >I have taken it (gabapentin) for over a year. I'm not sure how much good it does but am taking it on faith. I have not had any side effects from it. I am now tapering down as I feel 8 a day is too many but that is what the Dr. ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 , I was told by my pain doctor to take 2 pills four times a day for a total of 8 pills a day. I had been on 6 pills a day for a long time. That was when I refused to have her put me on a narcotic until I had the radio frequency. Since I had it done I have started cutting down on the pills. I am down to 4 this week. They are not a pill you should just stop. I had the nerve in the bottom of my foot burned. It was not a fun thing to have done but it has lessened the pain a lot. I now know how much the top of my foot hurts. I will have it done as soon as I can. I dread having it done but want to get rid of the pain I have suffered from all these years. I just wish everyone on the list could be rid of their pain!! I pray that with the better weather it is better for all. Happy Easter!!
