I am on Cymbalta and Gabapentin for post-stroke nerve pain in my legs. I feel the Cymbalta helps, but would like to get off Gabapentin as I think it doesn't do anything after three years. How did you get off 2700 mg of Gabapentin per day, if you wouldn't mind sharing?

You would definitely need to taper it slowly and probably talk with your doctor. Most people I know had difficulty getting off it and that was after less than a year, but it must be different for everyone.

So, I was taking 9 pills, 3 pills 3 times a day. I got off of Gabapentin by eliminating one additional pill every 2 weeks. I suffered no ill effects whatsoever during or after that process. Good luck!
