Thanks for your concern. I take either 300 or 400 mg tablets depending on what the pharmacy has in stock. I then take 6 300mg every 8 hours I’m going to try and just take 3, one each 8 hours.

It doesn’t really take away the pain and sometimes I need to take a sleeping pill to sleep. Nothing seems to fully take way the pain in my arms and hands. I can cut or burn my fingers and never know when it happened

But I do know the 6-8 Gabapentin and 4-6 100mg pills are not good for me.

Wish me luck, I only took one Gabapentin at 16:00. Thanks for the information that the Gabapentin is dangerous. I was worried about the opiate Tramadol thinking I could use the Gabapentin without consequence.

I will pray to God to give me the strength and fortitude to stop the drug.

I hope it all works out for you but your doctor should help you with this withdrawal. My very best wishes to you.

My neurologist is the one who put me on this regimen. I went back to him a couple months ago. He tapped my knees a couple times and when asked said there was nothing he could do. He even said there were no other medications or suggested I stop. Then charged me 100$.

neurologists love this drug and it has also spread to anesthesiologists and other specialties.

Gabapentin is approved to prevent and control partial seizures, relieve postherpetic neuralgia after shingles and moderate-to-severe restless legs syndrome. I have not reviewed the studies, but they are likely paid for by the drug companies. I don't advise you what to do, only that if you can get off medications and exercise you may have better pain control. I believe over half of prescription drugs are useless or worse.
