im taking gabapentin now..im taking 1200 mg per day should I take more to relieve the symptoms..im still getting numbness in my feet at 1200 mg
Brief Answer:
Would be better to try pregabalin or duloxetine.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
If 1200 mg of gabapentin has not helped your numbness, it is unlikely that you would get better with higher doses.
On the other hand, i would recommend that you try either pregabalin or duloxetine capsules.
Best wishes,
