Withdrawal from gabapentin after 1 dose
Neuropathy | Last Active: Dec 6, 2025 | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
I took gabapentin for over a year ... but took myself off it (my doctor had retired) after finding it didn't seem to reduce the neuropathy and left me with brain fog. I wasn't warned to be careful about stopping it abruptly. The brain fog has now lifted but my short term memory seems to be somewhat affected. I now wear fleece socks before going to bed to warm up my feet. This provides more relief than the gaba ever did!

@pamfitz I should clarify that I don't know that gabapentin affected my short-term memory. I may have coincidentally noticed it then. Just be a little advice to be more careful than I was.

@pamfitz Oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear about your short term memory being affected 🙁 Mine is already broken after a car wreck years ago, so I'm curious if I'll have any left once I'm off of it... hmmm. Something to consider, definitely. Thanks for sharing! Excited to see the brain fog go - it's very interfering with literally everything, I'm sure you know.
