It's extremely dangerous to stop any seizure medication.
It can cause a potentially deadly seizure condition even if you don't have epilepsy or other seizure related illnesses called status epilepticus which is a seizure that does not resolve without emergency medical intervention, which can include induced coma and have even caused deaths.
Anyone starting or stopping medication should always do so on the advice of their physician and not take it upon themselves.

Hello Jake, wow do I realize that now! Wish I would’ve called my doctor
before doing such a stupid thing! Getting back to normal is slow. I am back
on 100mg of gabapentin in AM and 100 pm. I will soon go back to my usual
regimen of 100mg AM and 200 MG in PM. I hope your message is read by many
people who are thinking of just going cold turkey in stopping gabapentin.
Best regards to all on Mayo Connect! Love reading everyone’s journey with
neuropathy.
