Neurologist 's  Response
At first why are you taking gabapentin? Secondly as gabapentin action mechanism involve in a kind a natural neurotransmitter, it takes time to normalize the receptors to the abscence of the drug. You have to lower the dose gradually if your disease allows you to not take the drug.
