A member asked:
I've been taking 1500mg of neurontin (gabapentin) for about 2 months is it safe to just stop taking it? i've never had seizures before i am taking it for rls
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not safe: Neurontin (gabapentin) should be tapered. Suddenly stopping it could indeed lead to seizures. Taper it under the direction of the prescribing physician.
