Just curious. I assume we are all different as with other meds.

I am taking 2 at night, one in the morning and will start taking one at noon soon.

I will check dosage later.

Hi Kam,

I take a small dose - 2x 100mg at night before bed to help with leg tremors so that I can 'sleep'.

The leg tremors diagnosed as part of RLS many years ago - but I see that for many others as well on the board that this is likely a manifestation of Lyme as well...

What are you taking Gabapentin (Neurontin) for?

I asked about lyrica for the fibro stuff I have and the primary doctor said he couldn't do lyrica but he could do gabapentin.

It has helped me sleep and I am able to move my body easier...but I am still very limited on how much I can do each day.

PS I had the restless leg thing in the 90's...looking back wondered if it was a lyme symptom.

I take 1400 mg at night to help with pain and sleep. In the AM I take 300 mg for pain (neuropathy) and again in the late afternoon I take 300 mg.
