Hi everyone
I just wanted to say i have started on gabapentin 900mg a day for 2 weeks now.
I do notice a difference.
I can walk more steady. I can stand for a lottle longer.
My neuorg. want me to take up to 1800mg a day but i find i like to stay at this amount.
I am very happy with the improvement so far.
IMy tremore were very bad. I still need my walker to shop but i am ok with that.
It feels so good to be able to do my houswork so much easier.
I have no effects from the pills so far.
take care all

Hi Candyse,
My name is Pam and I am new to this website. I too, take gabapentin and I really think it makes a big difference. Just wondering if you take your meds in the morning or the evening? I have been taking them in the morning, but found that I was extremely tired for about 2 hours after taking them, so I started taking them at night. I wake up with a little vertigo, but after getting up, it goes away. I hope I'm still getting the full effect by taking them at night. I am on 1500 mg and still increasing. I'm glad you haven't experienced any side effects. Keep hanging in there and here's to a (hopefully) shake free day.
