A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gabapentin: Gabapentin is short acting. The effect is dose related. Steady state in your body will take about 72 hours at present dose. Full effect may take 7-10 days. Your doctor needs to hear from you how you are doing at present dose, whatever it is. Your doctor will establish goals.
