I found the Gabapentin did make me tired so I would take it when I went to bed. I would take 900 MG and it did help with the numbing.

I tried Gabepentin and many use it for peripheral neuropathy. I found it made me tired and I limited the dose to avoid published side effects. I use kinesiology tape on my feet and moisturizing lotion on my hands . Visit my page to view video posting for kinesiology tape application. I have taped my feet for a couple years now when the pain is high. I hope this helps.

It helped with my Neuropathy, as I took it as directed by my oncologist. I used it at night to help me sleep. He told me not to take it during the day because it would act make me drowsy and could effect my judgement. I think that some of us here In this group don't listen to the professionals and make our own judgement on how to take the medication
