Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?

I’m weaning my self off gabapentin. My main issue here is the neuropathy is causing electric shoots that are crippling. It happens if I get a cut out a broken nail into the qyuick, blisters on feet. The shocks are debilitating for about 2-3 days after a cut orinjury to hands, feet.

Any one else have these … it’s making me crazy.
