Gabapentin 10 years at 3000 milligrams at bedtime began taper got to 1200 milligrams ok, down to 900 and now have bad withdrawal what do you recomend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slower taper: If you've been on a medicine that long, you won't be able to taper it down quickly. Talk to your doctor about slower tapering regimens - ex. Alternating 1200, 900 every other day, or splitting tabs so you're getting 1050 for a few weeks. But be sure to let your doctor know you're about the difficulty tapering!
