A member asked:
Will i be able to experience physical withdrawal symptoms from discontinuing 300mg of gabapentin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: but I always recommend tapering gabapentin. if you are on 300 mg per day (100 mg three times a day), I would talk to the prescribing doctor about reducing it to 100 mg twice a day for a week or so, then 100 mg a day for a week and then stop. However, at your dose, even if you stopped completely all at once, it is unlikely to produce serious withdrawal symptoms or signs.
