Hi Kay,

If memory serves, I started on 25mg/day and went up to 75mg/day before the pain stopped.  It was such a tremendous relief.  I was in graduate school at the time, and there was no thinking happening when that pain kicked in! 

This was many years ago, so I don’t know what the current recommendations are.  I weighed 110-115 lbs at the time, in case dosing is done by weight.

I’ve also used Neurontin (for a damaged nerve just a couple of years ago).  It made me feel drunk, and I couldn’t function when using it at a dose that helped the nerve pain.
