Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
History is ambiguous , so very difficult to say something, but dose of gabapentine is as ,
1st day 300 mg
2nd day 300 mg two times in day.
3rd day 300 mg three times a day.
Then increased according to response upto 1.2 gm/day in three divided doses.
Maximum dose is 2.4 gm (2400 mg) in three divided doses.
So these are doses of gabapentine.
Hope you will understand , what is the best for you
good luck.
Dr. HET.
