When you take Gabapentin for nerve pain you typically take the gabapentin for up to 12 weeks and sometimes longer depending on the severity of your nerve pain.

Some people who have more severe and long lasting nerve pain such as from diabetes may need to take the Gabapentin for the rest of their lives.

Before stopping with taking gabapentin for your nerve pain speak with your doctor as your doctor will advise how long you need to take gabapentin for.

Don't stop taking the gabapentin or lower your increase your dosage of Gabapentin without speaking with your doctor first.

Sometimes Gabapentin can actually cause your health to decline even more so speak with your doctor about the side effects when taking Gabapentin.
