RA and gabapentin
I am currently taking Erelzi injection 50mg/ml weekly for RA. I have been taking Gabapentin 600mg nightly for neuralgia (mainly due to c5-6 and c6-7 neck fusions) for years. I am tapering and now on 300mg. No side effects. I want to stop it completely. Has anyone been through this. I also want to taper my Amitriptyline from 20-10mg nightly when I am Gabapentin clear.
Hi,
!
I was unable to find any anecdotes from this site specifically about tapering gabapentin. We have conversations and articles about tapering prednisone and SSRIs and the like, along with pain meds like vicodin. But, again, I was unable to find any discussions about tapering gabapentin specifically. Perhaps another moderator will have better luck than I did. I am glad the tapering has gone well thus far. Are you in conversation with your doctor during the tapering process? Did anything specific ignite your desire to get off gabapentin? Are you looking for specific next steps or tips?
I have peppered you with enough questions! If I do happen to come across info on this, I will definitely link it here and I hope this process continues to go well for you!
Best, Erin, Team Member.
