What are you tapering off of? Ive never heard tapering with gabapentin. What is theanine, never heard of that, and MAYO has underlined it in red? Fact is I think tapering is a new thing to Dr's. They prescribed me the incorrect dose to taper off the Lorazepam, it turned my whole life upside down. I kept telling the Dr. I am still going through withdrawal, her response, NO YOU CAN'T BE. What does a body do then, just suffer, my friend. I was taking Lorazepam 6MG every night for more than 10 years, I was tapered with Clonazepam .50MG, it should have been 3MG, thus my protracted withdrawal. I didn't find out til 12 months after I tapered. I asked Walgreens about my horrible dry mouth and other terrible symptoms after taper and he asked me questions about my dose from tapering. He was shocked when I told him. The only good news right now I have is, my Neurologist prescribed Tramadol for sleep, after several other drugs did not work, and it has worked for a few days now. I can't tell you how excited I am because I have slept for 5 hours, and for a few days. My wish is for me to be able to stop researching about Restless Legs Syndrome and printing, and searching and printing. My worry with the Tramadol which is an opioid, is going through a taper. I want to just break the cycle of 3 hrs, finger crossed I can do this.
