How much carnitine are you taking?

Starting at 250mg a day is best and titrating up as needed up to 2 grams a day is what the dose in the chemo treatments suggest.

While the carnitine will wake up sore muscles, and improve some metabolism, I never noticed much energy from it.

But decreasing gabapentin may be the real reason. Perhaps you were just used to the zombie effects before and now that they are removed, you notice that.
