So far the higher dosage isn't helping.

I took this for almost 2 years and did not work for the pain.

Pros:

There were none for me

Cons:

This pill made me crazy, literally. I was very moody, my family said it was horrible. Swiched to Lyrica. Pain is gone and no craziness.

Gabapentin, along with Oxcarbazepine, has worked for me. I had the electric shock pains in my feet.

Pros:

Works quickly

Cons:

If you miss just one dose the pain takes a day to get under control.

I love Gabapentin. I am up to 900 mg. 3x/day. If it hasn't worked for you, ask you Dr. to increase your dose. 600 mg. 3x/day wasn't enough for me. I was still miserable. Now, however, I've found great relief! Wouldn't be without it!

Pros:

Awesome neuropathy pain relief! Dosages can be increased when necessar which is a big plus!

Cons:

None that I know of.
