I had very little trouble getting off of Gabapentin, with a daily dosage of 1200 mg. I tapered off over a period of about 14 days. Yes I felt a bit off, but it was tolerable. After that process my doctor prescribed Lyrica which did help, but the side effects were awful, So, I went through the same process again. Lyrica was harder to get out of my system, but if you're motivated enough you can do it. Now, I'm back on Gabapentin with a different dosing program i.e. 400 in the morning and 800 just before bed. This new dosing has helped with sleep. Like someone else said, you really do have to be your own advocate. Best o' luck to you and everyone else.
