gabapentin. 600mg. Tapering off
Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2018 11:56 am
Hello, I am taking 600 mg of gabapentin at night for leg and foot cramps at night.
I find it doesn't work well anymore. My doctor is having me taper off the medicine.
I would like to know of any side effects about tapering off gabapentin. I have read a lot online.
I need to find something else to take. I have tried so many things for relief and none work well. My legs and feet hurt so bad. Sometimes 4 times a night. I get up and strength. I find for short time relief otc products work til I wake up with pain.
Very frustrating. I take magnesium and potassium pills prescriptions. My former doctor said I had RLS but my doctor now thinks my leg cramps are just diabetic related. I think maybe diabetics lead to RLS. My iron has been low.
I got off topic a little . But has getting off gabapentin been difficult for anyone. Thank you.
