Brief Answer:
Yes, you ca!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Gabapentin can be taken up to 1800mg daily. Because you have taken only minimal amounts at this time, there is no harm in taking another 100mg now if that is needed for effective pain control.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted with your progress.
