Gabapentin withdrawal is a horror story. I was on 1200 mg. and experienced very bad side effects. I have been taporing. Shame on doctors that over prescribe a medication that can cause such side effects. Shame on them for NOT counseling patients on possible side effects and withdrawal. Did anyones doctor tell them that severe depression, cardiac problems, ringing in the ears, and lower sleep quality can be reaction s to Gabapentin. I was told that I would have little to no withdrawal from the neurologist that prescribed this medication. Yet I have stopped sleeping, sweat, vomit, and have ongoing panic attacks. This is Gabapentin withdrawal. Because of the stress of the withdrawal my neuropathy pain is increased. Yes, Im on a tapor, no that doesn't take away the withdrawal symptoms. It makes me capable of putting one foot in front of another. Thank the good Lord I didn't listen to this doctor. For small fiber neuropathy it has zip pain relief, yet this drug that I was suffering from so many side effects , he wanted to just increase. It was on my allegy list. He was so convinced that this was the end all of all medications. He prescribed it from my allergy list. Im sure this is an excellent medication for many people. Yet have your doctor discuss all side effects.
