Stopping cold turkey
Hi folks,
I am on day 4 of no gabapentin after being on 2400mg daily for years. Of course, my doctor is saying that there's no withdrawal from gabapentin, but I feel like I am crawling out of my skin. Can't sit still, super depressed, jittery. The good side is that by the end of the day I'm so exhausted from everything that I haven't had any trouble sleeping, thanks to the help of trazodone. My question is, for those who have gone cold turkey, am I over the worst of it and now it's just a matter of my brain recalculating how to function without it? I want to be OFF this drug, permanently. And I am trying my best to tough it out, but it's getting harder and harder with each passing hour.
And I know technically I'm supposed to taper, but please save those lectures for someone else. No offense meant, it's just not possible for me.
Thanks everyone.
