Maybe it's not bad for everyone's memory. I've had no problems. Had no problem stopping it either when I decided it wasn't working anymore.

Probably depends on the dose. I looked at the Facebook group about Gabapentin. Most of the people having problems there were taking 3000 to 5000 mg per day. I took 300 mg per day for 13 years and quit when it stopped working. No side effects and no problem quitting (no withdrawal).
