A member asked:
Is 1100 gabapentin 3 times a day a lot for trigeminal neuralgia ?
13 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: 3300 mg/d of Gabapentin is certainly a healthy but not uncommon dose. Are you having any side-effects to this dosage?

High dose: But okay if you are not having side effects and your kidneys are doing well. Some people respond to lower doses, but I have had a number of patients on 1200 three times a day for different nerve pain. If you can treat it with less medication its better. However, if you need that much, it is reasonable. Tri neuralgia can be extremely painful, so it does require higher doses sometimes.

No, too high: The highest effective dose of Gabapentin is 2400 mg daily. Beyond that point there is no added value, and therefore, not worthwhile to take more than 800 mg thrice daily (see pdr).
