@reddakota1 Did you slowly decrease dosages of gabapentin or did you stop quickly? Many on this forum have commented that trying to get off it was a nightmare. I take 300mg four times a day, 1200mg total. I am down from 2400mg a day since taking R alpha lipoic acid 300 mg three times a day, total 900 mg. I also take vitamin B12, methylcobalamin. My diabetic neuropathy is pretty well controlled now but I would like to reduce gabapentin even mote if not entirely eliminate it. It makes me a little foggy brained and affects my balance.

I started out with one Duloxetine at night and dropped 900 Mg at that time. About a week later I dropped my 900 Ng of Gabapentin at 4:00 in the afternoon. Then I was prescribed 1 more Duloxetine at night and about a week or two later I dropped the last 900 Mg of Gabapentin.
Never seemed to be any problems at least for me.
