Been on Gabapentin several years, started with 3600 (1800 2x a day) for neuropathy in feet, so off balance kept reducing now 600 2x a day, feel it isn't really helping much anymore, feet are miserable and I frequently walk like someone who has had a few too many. The balance problem still there and sometimes dizzy so thinking of asking how to reduce and get off, so many other side effects have just ignored those in hope of relief.

I've been on Gaba/Neutontin for a long time also, but lower doses than you.
Even with my 300 mg, Twice a day usually, I had a lot of dizziness which was a trade-off for less pain. (MS, fibro, arthritis)
When a pain management doctor prescribed a new med on top of the GAB, it added to the dizziness and I suffered a fall for the first time ever-- Still recuperating from that injury.
Then I quit all pain meds because I didn't wanna fall again! I am 69 with osteoporosis-- Really don't wanna be breaking any bones right now!
So now I'm in pain. Lots of pain. Taking Ibuprofen + Acetaminophen and feeling really LOUSY.
Thanks for Sharing your own experience.
