Suggest Dosage For Gabapentin
I have been taking Gabapentin extended release 600 mg at night for sleep and hot flashes. After several months and only a slight improvement I cut back to 300 mg for a few weeks without much of a problem except more restlessness at night. . I want to know if I can take take the capsule apart, split the powder and just take half of the capsule for another 2 weeks then go off of it. Thank you.
