Susanne,

I hope you are doing fine. I am holding up until I can post here (hoping very soon) of a thread titled "Success Story - my version". Well, no harm is wishing.

I know gabapentin is doing something to my zapping and prickly skin. But, it seems I'm becoming dependent on it. I know when I missed a dosages, my symptoms are more pronounced. But the thought of taking it for the rest of my life scares me. My brain fog, thank God, it's not getting worse but it is very noticeable. My husband no longer rely on me on remembering things. I put things aside, and I keep it so well that I could not find it myself!!

I want to wean off but I am scared of the symptoms. I'm on 600mg 3x a day. I tried a couple of times slowly reducing one dose a little bit (I have on stock different dosages), but on the 2nd day, my body notices it. Isn't that strange?
