How To Withdraw Neurontin?
My husband is trying to stop using Neurontin. He has been on this medication for 12 years for tingling in his leg and foot since back surgery. He is having alot of nausa and sweats. Is there anything he can do to get through this without feeling so bad?

Hello,
Generally it doesn't cause withdrawal; except the problem you started taking it for comes back. But, for any medicine, slowing lowering the dose under supervision is the standard way to deal with things.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
