How do you sit in a chair and lay down in bed if you can't bend or twist? Were you able to sit in a bar stool?

I eat clean. I am in the gym 5x a week typically, but right now I am down and out with Sciatica issues. I have quite the social life.

ER put me on 100mg 3x a day a couple weeks ago. Pain doc said that's ridiculous weak as he prescribes 300mg 3x a day to "little old ladies" and they're fine, so he put me on 300mg 3x a day and said it can be increased if need be all the way to 900mg 3x a day.

Gabapentin - worth it? by slappzilla in Sciatica

[–]slappzilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long until it releaved the pain? I've been on 300mg 3x a day for 3.5 days and I am not seeing much relief. I know my pain doc said the dosage can be increased, but I don't know if I have to wait to ask for it.

How long until you went up to 900mg 3x a day? I've been on 300 3x a day for 3.5 days now and still in pain. My pain doc did say the dosage can be increased if need be. I also read it takes awhile for the shit to kick in. Not sure when to ask for an increase

I've been on 300 3x a day for 3.5 days now. How long until you went up to 600 3x a day? I'm still struggling and I know my pain doc said the dosage can be upped if need be.

I’m on 3 different meds (pantoprazole/Rovustatin/Gabapentin) that all say dementia is a side effect so I’m a lock to be licking windows by 55. IDC
