@hopeful33250 I am on the same boat my Dr trialed me for 300mg a day for 30 days. I am down to my last 4 pills, awaiting instructions from my Dr. Did you just stopped? Or u had to taper?

Hello @edematta

I see that this is your first post on Connect, welcome! I appreciate you joining this discussion. If you are comfortable sharing more about yourself, did you start taking Gabapentin for neuropathy pain caused by diabetes or something else?

To answer your question, I tapered to 100 mg. That works well for me if I'm having pain from neuropathy.

Have you just been taking Gabapentin for one month now?

@edematta I’m on 300 mg 3 times a day. I have neuropathy in feet and lower legs plus new back pain Helps Back pain for 2 hrs. nerve pain doesn’t make better just different Asked for my neurologist guidance to go off and start something else or possibly nothing else. She just says go off and do another drug or just go off entirely. No guidance on any taper plan She very careless Put my on Tramodol That lasted 2 day I was a zombie and couldn’t breathe Stopped immediately Neurologist was actually irritated when I stopped😳
