Gabapentin use for neuropathy

I'm wondering what it's like stopping Gabapentin. I'm just tapering on it, I'm up to 200mg three times a day, and I don't think I will be able to tolerate it. I'm starting to have cognitive problems. I'm not thinking clearly and I think I'm a little unsteady on my feet.

Jim,
I had severe cognitive issues with Gabapentin, but have been taking 1800 mg of Gralise for years now w no cognitive issues (at least as far as I can tell - my wife might have s different view).

Now that I have been on disability for 2 years they are “allowing” me to go to Medicare in May. I’ve looked thru the plans and they have Gabapentin in their formularies but not Gralise. Not sure what I will do since the out of pocket cost would be $1800/ month.

No longer is housing the highest expense in life, healthcare has overtaken it with a vengeance.
