Weaning off gabapentin

[sonicwhite]

Ok. So my doc is seNding me from 300 three times a day to 200 mg three times a day for a month. Than we will go down another hundred mg and from there jump off eventually. As most of you know I had to ct klonopin because the doctors knew I wasn't going to be able to wean off such a drug.

I said up thinking I'm about to die. I'm always anxious. I'm scared and I don't know how to deal with life. I'm detoxing off of a lot of meds. I'm scared that I'm not going to be able to do it.

It is a ruff road to Wien yourself off of medications totally do able. Keeping a positive frame of mind is the key or it was with me. I dropped 4 medications over a 2 to 3 month period. Finding alternatives is also key. I wish you all the strength and determination you need to be successful. Best of luck on your journey.
Peace be safe

I was on gabapentin for my migraines as a preventative, it wasnt to rough of a weening process. the worst one to get off for me was nortriptyline. i had major panic attacks and felt as if i was having a heart attack at times....it would bring me to the floor...you should be alright. stay positive

Gabapentin is the only drug that’s ever made me fully forget a 24-hour period. I ended up in the ER after taking it for a week. It turns out a bunch of people have that “side affect.” Scared me pretty badly.
