Gabapentin: 100mg is then lowest dose and you have been using this once a day for 7 days - you can just stop it.

If you have started: Gabapentin for seizures, I recommend that you wait to contact the prescribing physician before discontinuing the medication. 100 mg is a very low dose. If you have been started on the medication for neuropathic pain it can be stopped. The issue in yor case may be complicated by the history of jerking prompting an EEG.
