My husband never took gabapentin three times per day, but only two. Though he did use 100 mg pills in the morning, he had a bottle of 400 mg gabapentin pills for his evening dose. I believe he only ever had 100s and 400s to use.
I used to have to take a pile of lower dose (200 mg) carbamazepine pills per day to equal 1,400 mg. It was only years later after my dose went down to 800 mg that I could use two 400 mg pills per day. I'll confess that sometimes I yearned for doses that made fewer pills possible. Right now I take 550 mg Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) per day. That means a 300, a 200, and a 50 mg pill. Wish I could someday get down to 500 mg or even 300 mg. I was always opposed to 3x per day dosing, mostly because I so often forgot any afternoon doses.
