Q: i take gabapentin twice a day, two pills at night at 600mg. and one pill in the day at 300mg. my question is can i take all three at night before bed?

: Gabapentin should be taken three times daily due to its short half-life, and otherwise does not have smooth efficacy. The appropriate dose should be 300 mg every 8 hours.
