I stopped taking Gabapentine because I felt the burning pain was letting up. Only, NONE of my doctors warned me about stopping abruptly! Also, I wanted to take less at each dose (100 instead of 300), but my pills are 300 capsules and I can't divide them. The package slip does not say specifically to not stop taking them, it says the standard text to tell your doctor before stopping (which all my meds state). I only came about the withdrawal symptoms by looking on here or googling, since I know there are also cortisone withdrawal symptoms (I stopped cortisone about 1.5 weeks ago).
So with that said - asking experienced Gabapentine users, what do I do? Start popping the 300mg right away or now that it has been a couple days, just wait it out? How long would withdrawal symptoms last? I've read the symptoms are more psychotic like anxiety/nervousness/hallucinations (I have GAD anyway), but can there be physical symptoms like muscle pains/soreness?
