Is it safe to stop gabapentin? How?

Posted by pepsi97 @pepsi97, Jul 26, 2020

Hey there! The neurologist put me on gabapentin 300mg once a day at bedtime for a few months because of my numb toes. I no longer have health insurance because the pandemic forced me to leave my job on April. I am a bit worried about being able to stop using gabapentin on Sep/Oct without side effects because I never used it before and I have no idea how my body will react. Is it safe for me to just stop using gabapentin?

Thanks for the info Linda. I will look up Botanic Choice. Thank-you also for the book recommendation, sounds like something to check out. Would you mind my asking what specific remedy you order for nerve pain? Thanks, Hank

@jesfactsmon I checked out Linda's suggestion. The common name of Hypericum is St. John's wort. This is known to interact with prescription meds so please check first. I also need nerve pain help. My back surgeon suggested B12, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Magnesium.
