Have Any Of You Ever Weaned Off Of Gabapentin? How Long Did It Take And What Were The Side Effects?
Why are you weaning off? My doctor cut me back about half but any less than that causes sharp spasms and increases the restless legs problem. Never do it on your own. Your doctor is necessary.
Thanks. I know this stuff is tricky.
Definitely talk to your Doctor who prescribed the medication. I currently take 600mg at bedtime to help with sleep. My neurologist tried upping the dose to 1800mg a day to see if it affects my tremors...(Did not)... Took awhile to wean off of the higher dose. Affected sleep, broke out in sweats etc....
DEFINITELY TALK WITH DR.
Weaning off gabapentin should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider to avoid withdrawal symptoms. The duration and side effects can vary based on individual circumstances. Common side effects of tapering off gabapentin may include:
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Nausea
- Pain

How is your withdrawal going ? Hope all is well ! Whenever I withdraw from medications it small cuts off and it takes a good while to reduce. Patience is the virtue you need to make withdrawal easier. I find myself lacking patience and am working on that.
