A member asked:
Can withdrawal from neurontin (gabapentin) cause pain in the legs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Essentially: No: If you are asking whether withdrawal from the med causes the pain directly: No. However, you were taking the medication for some condition (you list three, including pain). More probably, going off the med has simply caused the underlying condition to resurface.
