Gabapentin: Your dose of gabapentin (Neurontin) is low and tapering should not be necessary. However, gabapentin does come in a 100 mg tablet if your doctor suggests a tapering schedule. Before you change the dosage or frequency of any medication please check with the prescribing physician

Talk to prescriber: You are on a very small dose and getting off should be simple. However, you are on it for some reason. Talk to doctor who prescribed it to determine how to get off and what to do instead.
