Default Diabetic Nerve Pain & Gabapentin

I am new here and need some advice. I have severe diabetic nerve pain in my feet. I am taking Gabapentin and I worry about being on this medication. It does help, but I have heard that Gabapentin is hard to get off of. I have been on Gabapentin since September 2009. Started on 300MG at night. Started an increase in February 2010, 300MG AM, 300MG PM. Another increase in early March 2010 600MG AM, 900MG PM. Was not able to handle the morning nausea, so part of my AM dose was moved to PM. So, I am taking 300MG AM and 1200MG PM. I have had some diarrhea as a side effect and had a couple of bowel movements during sleeping without knowing it. If going off of this medication further down the road is going to be a problem, then I would rather get off of the medication and deal with the pain. Any advise would be appreciated.
