Is it safe to stop gabapentin? How?

Hi there! I am sorry for posting this question in the wrong category, it's my first time. 🙂
Actually no, I am forced to buy the medication to continue because the neurologist doesn't want to see me at all now that I don't have health insurance. She told me she will see me when I find a job and get my health insurance back, which I don't know when will happen.
I am forced by this problem to completely stop using gabapentin 300mg daily but I have no idea how my body will react after stopping, even if it's a small dose.

You are on a small dose. I don't think it will be hard to get off of it. If you have some left get some empty gel capsules .You can dump some supplements from one if you can't buy the empty ones, and cut the capsule dose in half by taking the gabapentin from one and then putting the other half in the empty capsule for the next dose. That way you can taper off more slowly.
