Since 2006, a life-long consequence of chemotherapy is residual peripheral neuropathy. Having tried gabapentin, Lyrica, pristiq, cymbalta, etc. ...none of them gave me relief and their side-effects were intolerable.
My neurologist tapered me off of each one before trying another. Now, I have learned to live with it.
Your doctor will guide you if you advocate for yourself. I don't know what your circumstances are. I do know communicating with your doctor is a priority.
Good luck.
Happy wellness.
Withdrawing from Gabapentin should be a slow process decrease your dosage in the slow manner and you should be able to withdraw from it successfully. Can you withdraw from a medicine like Gabapentin should be supervised by medical professionals
