Gabapentin 300mg been given for right sacroiliac fracture burning in lower back and down legs is this medication effective? how long will it take work
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gabapentin: This medication can take up to two weeks before you notice anything. 300mg dose is standard but you didn't mention how often you take it. If u take it only once a day you may want to talk to your dr about upping the dose. This medication can make you sleepy.
