In the grips of this withdrawal and need some success stories of y’all that got off this drug. Been taking 300mg for a couple months now and having painful inter-dose withdrawal. Sometimes i wonder if just jumping off will be better then dealing with two weeks of hell. How long does the withdrawal last? Case reports have shown that gabapentin withdrawal often lasts for 5 to 10 days, but some people have taken as long as 18 weeks to completely taper off gabapentin while managing withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms may start within 12 hours to 7 days after stopping gabapentin and may be severe. His Gabapentin dosage was pretty high at the time, too. After stopping abruptly, I noticed he was very moody, kind of how you're describing your cat. But he'd also make a funny meow and start walking backwards, etc., so I thought it was nerve pain or phantom limb issues. His surgeon said Gabapentin withdrawal wasn't a thing. The last time I went into withdrawal off gabapentin was April first and by April 15 it got worse. I was in a small waiting room by myself for an hour. It was as if the world was made of tiny squares and I saw it in tiny rectangles that where just a bit bigger or smaller. Gabapentin withdrawal can begin within 12 hours and last up to 7 days. As of 2023, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has not classified gabapentin as a controlled substance because experts have always believed it showed little potential for abuse or dependence. Gabapentin has a horrendously long half life, so it takes something like 36 hrs to 3 days to start feeling the withdrawal, so the 100mg step down over 7-10 days has been key for me. Sometimes I can go down faster if I’ve been at higher doses for only a day or two. As soon as the Gabapentin kicked in, I started to see eveyrthing in a better perspective and was able to put pen to paper and draw out a tapering timeline. If I were you, at day 7 I would start reducing the Gabapentin dosages so by day 14-21 I will be at 0 and have to tough out the easy part of the kratom withdrawal solo. How long were you on it before you began to quit or taper? What was your dosage? How long was it before things were back to normal? Has anyone found that any types of drinks, herbs, foods, meditation or physical activities, or any prescriptions (without bad side effects) that helped you reduce the gabapentin withdrawal side effects? If you just down a bunch of pills, chances are you won't be feeling much of anything, besides a very subtle high. However, if you dose correctly, you'll be feeling fucking amazing for a long duration, and be 100% functional. It becomes a very nice opiate without the side effects and addiction. HOW TO PROPERLY USE GABAPENTIN: Go back to Gabapentin 300mg for at 2 weeks. i.e 300mg x 3 times daily or 2 times daily depending on how you were using it before. This will help to restore you back to initial point you were initial. Ask your GP to give you the 100mg doses, then drop from 300mg to 200mg for another 2 weeks, using it the same way you did with the 300mh. Most uses for gabapentin are off-label, especially in regards to depression and withdrawal. Gabapentin withdrawal can induce negative mood symptoms for quite a while, and a good portion of those suffering didn't even have those symptoms prior to the drug because they were using it for things like nerve pain. 25 votes, 33 comments. So I have been weaning off Gabapentin for a week or so, coming down from 900 mgs a day. I decided I would try a day without But just in my personal experience of this situation (a few times over the years) it should peak tomorrow or so, and can last 10 days or longer depending on length of time you've been on the drug, and your dose. It's truly a horrible experience, I totally understand your pain. Anyway, gabapentin has a super short half life so it's not actively in your system for very long so I don't understand how people are having such issues weeks or months after acute withdrawals. The mental withdrawal from gabapentin is also nothing compared to opiates. When abruptly stopping gabapentin (Neurontin), withdrawal symptoms are likely to occur within the first 1-2 days. If the medication is gradually reduced, withdrawal symptoms may begin within this time or may take slightly longer to emerge, if at all. There is documentation that abrupt withdrawal of gabapentin (less than 1 week) can result in a patient experiencing withdrawal symptoms. A withdrawal schedule lasting more than one week seem appropriate and certainly depends on the individual and the prescribers discretion. 100% FALSE.

Does anyone have any personal experience tapering off gabapentin and how long it took you to feel normal after stopping it? Currently one week into tapering off and having tremors and what feels like mentally frozen like can’t speak / move. Heart rate gets up to 95+ BPM. Started at 900mg-1200mg every night for Restless leg syndrome. I had been on Gabapentin for 3 years starting at 900mg and ramping up to the 2700mg in January and I decided I wanted to try something else. The only problem for me was increased pain in the last week, which I fully expected. I did not notice any withdrawal effects, so everyone's experience is different because for some, it's hard.
