Good afternoon @farmgrrl57 ......Please do not just "drop" the gabapentin. Discuss the tapering with your doctor. It took me several months and my PCP was right with me. I also have started a bit of ibuprofen because it worked really well for me post-surgery for a TKR. I only take it as needed because it can cause stomach issues. It is wonderful to have a medical professional holding my hand. We call ourselves Health Partners. She even showed up at 6:30 one morning with still wet hair to comply with another physician's request. Lucky me!!!!!

You are indeed, lucky. I know there can be serious complications if you suddenly stop taking gabapentin. I meant to say I was considering asking my doc if there was something else I could try and then taper down. I do appreciate your advice and concern. Thank you!
