I took it for shingles then realized it was helping my knee prior TKR. Six months later told my family dr I wanted to stop so I did. OMG! No one said it was addictive and needed to slowly taper off. I got severe migraines and shakes. It took me two months to get off! It was horrible.

My Neurologist had me on 300 mg. 3 times a day. I cut back to 600 mg. at bedtime to help me sleep. Now I am down to 400 mg. at bedtime and soon will try 300 and keep reducing. SDince it only covers up the symptoms and does not cure NP and I developed vision problems.
Yes, from what I have been reading it does have some serious side effects if you go cold turkey.
