I've been on it for 8 years and am still wondering the same thing. It doesn't help and is almost impossible to get off.

@confused1955 - just curious - if gabapentin doesn't help - why is it so difficult to get off of? Are there symptoms to watch for?

You have not provided enough information for anyone to make sense of this posting. How much are you taking? Are you truly getting no benefit from it at all? 8 years is a long time to take something that doesn't work for you. Where is your doctor in all this? It is actually very easy to get off Gabapentin: working with your doctor, you simply reduce your dosage over a week or a month (everyone is different).
