Be careful going off gabapentin. It is a level 1 drug That is what the pharmacy told me. It takes days to get off. I was on it for less than 3 weeks. First 3 days half dose then half again. The longer you have been on it the longer it takes to get off it.
I was on it for less than 3 weeks. Went to bed I’m fine. Woke up 2 hours later left legs in great pain and then it started swelling. Long store short ER doctors couldn’t figure out what was going on my test all negative. Sent me home 10 hours later. Gained 10 pounds. Saw my family doctor a few days later. He knew at once what was going on. First night half dose I didn’t sleep it took me 9 days to get off. A month later left leg still not normal.
Be careful.

Oh my gosh, this sounds terrible! How much gaba were you taking? Did they check for blood clots/DVTs in your leg?
Wow, I hope you get better soon and thanks for the warning!
