neurontin 400 mg 3 times a day When I was on Neurontin, I was taking 1,200 mg 3 time a day. You're only taking 1,200 mg a day and I was taking that amount 3 times a day, a total of 3,600 mg a day. I had a problem missing my second dose, but when I started to feel pain, I knew that I had missed it. I know that this is the highest a doctor want you to go, but I have seen people on even higher doses. These doses can make you a zombie or foggy. I'm now on Lyrica 150 mg twice a day. It's a lot easier for my the remember to take my medication and I don't feel the foggy and/or a zombie. I don't take the other medications that you're on. And I may not have the same pain that you have, mine it most numbness than pain. I do feel both of my feet feel like there should be flames coming off my feet. lol Hope this helps, Todd in CC, TX

Your doc should be able to keep you fairly comfortable - not that we don't all have pain, but you should be able to take something strong enough that you do not have entire days/nights with no relief. Sorry to get on my soapbox, but that kind of constant pain needs to be addressed to your doc - like "in his face".
