I am in my 11th week of withdrawing off 75 mg of gabapentin. The anxiety is over the top and I have been crying almost every day since I went off. I recently took for tingling due to a vitamin B six toxicity. Has anybody else experienced such a long withdrawal process? I went cold turkey at 75 mg and I know that wasn’t right. I just couldn’t stand the way it made me feel everyday. I have never experienced anxiety or depression like this at all in my life. I am 68 years old

So sorry for this problem. Withdrawal is also very difficult for me. I take gabapentin for painful RLS. What were you taking it for?
Did you mean 75 mg? The smallest capsules I can find are 100 mg. The "standard" capsule seems to be 300 mg. This is in the US.

I take 200 mg at night to help with Rls. I was unaware it also helps with anxiety. Maybe you could take another drug with short half life to ease your withdrawal.
