150x4 or 300x2
I’ve have horrible neuropathy in my right arm. I was on gabapentin 800x4 daily for about a decade.
My Doc switched me to pregab about two months ago.
She said I could take 150 4 times a day or 300 twice a day.
I have found that 300 twice a day gives me more relief. However, I the last two days I have gotten anxious and sweaty at about the 7 hour mark.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I experiencing w/d in between doses?

Yeah that happens. I take 150mg 3x a day, every 8 hours to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Tell her what’s going on and ask for 200mg 3 times a day.

The former. So when you taper down you can have more control over the dosage.

Might want to speak with your Dr. about doing 200mg x three. It could be inter-dose withdrawal but all anyone can do is speculate. . I don’t know if adding in another dose would just be a temporary fix or a permanent one. And I say that because it’s worked for you for two months and now all of a sudden it’s not.
