I have contacted my internist because the Gabapentin tapor is going badly. This is my second tapor. Gabapentin is overprescribed out of desperation is my take of the situation. Gabapentin was on my allergy list. I do not have a condition Gabapentin treats. Withdrawal symptoms are very bad. In my case slowing a tapor is not as successful because the side effects were so debilitating. Maybe medical professionals should take the time to discuss this pain option. I think patient education is extremely important. I wish I would have received patient education not a titrating schedule. But a true discussion of this medication. Maybe I would have gone through this once, let alone twice.
