It is really difficult to say.
People vary so much, and the mechanism of how gabapentin works is not well understood.
Supposedly it works on the dorsal root areas along the spine.
Could be mini-withdrawals, like the long term Benzo use patients have. The Benzos also seem useful in the short run for some nerve pain. Benzos share some antiseizure effects like gabapentin has.
(Benzos are Valium, Klonopin, Xanax).
It appears that drugs that temper nerve signals all affect some type of receptor actions and that is what causes the "tolerance" and need for slow weaning off.
