A member asked:

I just started gabapentin 100mgs and was just wondering how long the effectiveness lasts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unclear: You need to have a conversation with your prescribing physician. It is unclear why you are on gabapentin - pain, epilepsy, mood dysphoria etc.; the effectiveness of the drug will differ individually depending on the rationale for why it was prescribed.
