That's seems so much and too often. Maybe you should try something else. I take two TRAMADOL as well, but nothing else. I take one at 5:30 pm and the other at 11:30 pm and I'm good to go for the night. Good luck

That is a lot of meds...did your doctor okay this?

Taking 2 Tramadol every 8-10 hrs is ok, you can take 2 Tramadol every four hrs if i remember thats what the leaflet says. So its it 300mg every 8-10 hrs or 3 of the 300mg which is 900mg every 8-10 hrs. Most people take the Gabapentin once at night rather than over a period of the day.

Hi I'm on tramadol 50mg I take one about 19:30 & 1gabapentin 300mg at the same time, then I take 600mg gabapentin bed time about 22:30 then I take 50mg tramadol if I'm still awake a hour later. I get about 4 hours sleep which is more sleep then I've had over 2 years or so. So did the doctor tell you take so many in 1 day?

I'm trying to decrease my daily Tramadol intake by slowly increasing my Gabapentin .

I'm down to 6 Tramadol daily from 8 daily. I hope to drop to 4 Tramadol daily.

Gabapentin is very good for Opiate Withdrawal.

I hope this works for you. I had no luck with Gabapentin except weight gain. Before I stopped it after a month and a half I had gained 25 lbs in that short time. I take only TRAMADOL 2x daily split one at 5:30 pm and the other at 11:30. It works very well for me, unfortunately , not for all. Good luck.
