What Are The Repercussions Of Taking Extra Dosage Of Gabapentin?

Can I overdose on gabapentin? I was prescribed 100 mg x3/ day for hypersensitivity under my feet and a severe burning feeling on areas of my skin (like shingles w/out the rash). But the symptoms remained. I increased my dose to 900 mg/ day and the symptoms stopped. I may have accidently tKen an extra dose , raising it to 1200 mg today. Is thAt dangerous?
