Brief Answer:
Gabapentin dosing

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for query,
Gabapentin would acheive a good clinical benefit after 3 to 4 days of its use. First day we generally start with 300mg and increase to 600mg on second day and 900 mg on third day.
So one dose tonight would not help effectively.
