I was on Gabapentin for a few months and my doctor wanted to increase my dose to 600mg three times per day. At that point I wasn't sure it was working, so I gradually decreased my dose until I was off of it. I went about 3 weeks not taking the Gabapentin. I could hardly do anything. Moving at all was extremely painful. As a last resort I decided to restart the Gabapentin. I am taking 300 mg twice a day and I can't believe how much it is helping. I am so thankful. Hopefully it can help someone else too.
