No, you searched well, I think. There are no incidents of it, to our knowledge.

not augmentation, but I think it's quite possible that some of us have gotten withdrawal that consists of worsened symptoms, after stopping gabapentin and other anti-convulsants.

I never experienced augmentation. Was initially on 900mg per day, now 300mg (one pill at bedtime). One day was 900 then went to 300 the next with no withdrawal effects.
