Neurontin 300 mg was prescribed for my husband this week due to neuropathy from Cisplatin. His feet are affected more than fingers, limiting his ability to walk far. Another adjustment as we always walked and hiked for exercise and recreation.
He was advised to start with one capsules at night and increase gradually to 3X/day. Also, to make sure he is getting B12 & folate (still on feedings so OK there). Lottie
