Default PS

Something I forgot to mention....

I'm taking 100 mg. gabapentin as needed. The question/concern was about stopping it abruptly causing siezure. Most people are taking almost 10X that amount (or more) daily - 300 mg. 3X/day. If someone at that level were to titrate down to get off of it, eventually they'd get down to 100 mg. - that's the smallest capsule that's made - and then to nothing. I spoze you could consider that, effectively, I'm perpetually at that last step.

I expect that if things keep progressing, I'll have to increase dosage (or find some cocktail) as others have done. But I'll always go with the minimum I need to get by.
