Double Up On Dosage

Updated

I've been taking 300 mg of Gabapentin for a while now in the evenings for a couple of pinched nerves. Recently though the affects are not as noticable so I've not been sleeping very well. Is there any reason why I couldn't start taking two pills for 600 mg instead?

Doubling to go that high is really not advisable, it is usually only increased by 100mgs each time a dosage adjustment is required, this helps you find the lowest effective dosage for you, while still minimizing the side effects.

What effects are you finding less noticeable? Have you consulted your doctor?
