Will have to build up to 1800 a day! my question is do people take the gabapentin and co-codomols together or different times???? I know that everyone is different but just wondered if most people found a way that works better??

    Hi Louise,
    Sorry much help with your question but I just wanted to say hi and hope you are feeling better in yourself.

    Is it worth taking to the help line team?

    Hope you get an answer soon.

    Hi Louise

    I take Gaberpentin and also take other pain meds as well. I'm on Oxycontin also Oxynorm which are like morphin drug.

    I suppose you could take it but I would ask a chemist if you are near one if not ask you gp.

    I hope you feel better soon

    love Trish xxx

    Hi Trish - ta for reply. I asked the local chemist is I could take them together and he said yes but as the methx has been reduced I have been getting loads more pain in my hands. i just wondered if it was worth spreading the pain relief during the day and what others did?? How long do peeps find that the gabapentin lasts - eg, bout 4 hours or longer?? does that make sense?? sorry do have trouble sometimes explaining what i mean!!!!

    take care
