Thank you for prompt reply.
If you don’t mind asking you, when you started on Gabapentin, did you develop tolerance or it ok to keep a steady amount?

I am not sure if I should keep taking it.

It helps with my lip nerve damage from a surgery I had a year and a half ago and anxiety.

But I read that this is the worst withdrawals you can have if wanting to taper and stop the med.

I did this so you can connect with others who have safely discontinued gabapentin and to read the helpful tips from other. Please consult your prescribing doctor when considering to stop medication.
