Something to keep in mind....

There have been some scattered posts on the net that claimed that gabapentin raised blood sugar in some people. I never could find confirmation of that. But it is something for you to think about.

Also gabapentin really does stop working for most people eventually. In the end studies have shown that only about 30% of patients really get much help from it basically.

Weaning off a drug you have been using for a long time, often, does have unpleasant consequences. If they do not resolve in a couple of weeks, you can always go back on the drug if you decide you want to.
