Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) and
Medications & Treatments.
You posted to the PN forum once, but I don't know if you followed up. Many members here take/have taken gabapentin for neuropathic pain of PN, and the med has been discussed exhaustively on that forum, so I would check the archives (
Search function) for threads that contain
gabapentin or
Neurontin in their titles.

There is some anecdotal evidence that magnesium and/or calcium supplementation may attenuate withdrawal symptoms of gabapentin, but I've found nothing definitive/documented.
lessening gabapentin withdrawal
IMO it's important to understand the
difference between addiction and physical dependence; they are not the same. Your are dependent on gabapentin, but not addicted to it.
