I must be the weird one here.....I virtually stopped taking Neurontin cold turkey and never had the first withdrawl sx. I've done that with other meds and never had a problem. Guess I'm just "special"......
I hope it gets easier for you, Barb. And I hope your visit with your sister and niece is enjoyable. If you feel you need to taper off more slowly then go with what feels right to you and then advise your doctor of your decision.
