Hello yes definitely gabapin can be taken upto a lot more dose than you're taking. Please increase the dose if needed. If you feel any dizziness thats when you stop increasing the dose. Every body tolerates it differently I usually start with 100 mg once and raise it to 450 mg thrice as and how the patient tolerates baclofen or liofen can also be increased (added with daily stretching exercises) to decrease stiffness remember- these tablets only help you deal with the symptoms only. Not the cure for syrinx please do feel free to consult me if you have queries.
