Thoughts on gabapentin for nerve pain? why does it have withdrawal effects? i am nervous to take this medication. other ones to ask dr about?

It is good: but it does cause withdrawal symptoms. But, equivalent medicines do it too. If you need it, do not hesitate

Effective: Gabapentin is very effective for nerve pain due to neuropathy or pinched nerve. It does cause tolerance which is why it must be tapered. I have many patients who have gotten significant relief using it. Discuss with your doctor. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
