At first it worked well, but I have had to up the dose considerably over time, I am now on 4 or 6 400mg capsules a day, plus paracetamol or paracetamol+codeine, depending on the good/bad day scenario! I am going to ask my GP about trying Pregabalin (Lyrica), which is apparently similar but works better for some people. Just something to keep in mind if you follow my path, which I hope you don't---I do hope Gabapentin continues to help you!<br />Wendy in Spain, who is facing the possibility of moving home....HELP!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-40273993477341962852011-03-12T05:54:58.311+00:002011-03-12T05:54:58.311+00:00It sounds like you have found a way to live your l...It sounds like you have found a way to live your life well, without compromising your health.

I laughed out loud to your comment about your Father LOL. You like me have broken the cycle, just because our parents were a certain way does not mean we have to be that way too.<br /><br />I look forward to hearing about how well you and your dogs do at your forthcoming shows.Penelope Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190283086298117094noreply@blogger.com
