Gabapentin is a medication commonly used to treat neuropathic pain, but it may take several weeks to be fully effective. Usually, the therapeutic effect appears within 2 to 6 weeks.
Since you have been taking it for 14 days, it may not be fully effective yet. The mentioned dose of 300 mg of gabapentin (2x1 per day) is the usual starting dose. In some cases, you may need to increase the dose for better pain relief.
If the pain in the leg and heel persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult a neurologist to evaluate the treatment and possibly modify the dose or change the therapy. It is important to monitor any symptoms and side effects. If you need advice from a neurologist, you can take advantage of teleconsultations here:
