Been on 100mg gabapentin for a week. can i stop cold turkey? trail for anxiety but making me feel lousy

Ask: Your doc to taper you off. This medication is not indicated for anxiety. In fact, I have to be honest: many in the psychiatric field wonder what this medication is good for. ssri's like the Celexa (citalopram) are top shelf anxiety treatment but, as opposed to use for depression, the dosages usually need to be more robust. Take care.
