CLARIFICATION.....gabapentin is not considered an addictive medication by most experts.  It can be abused; it can also aid some people in narcotic w/drawals.  Please don't panic.....many people take it for medical issues and are pleased with their results.  I just was at a place in my life that I wanted to be off ALL drugs that affected my neuro pain pathways and gaba receptors so I could re-evaluate my OWN pain/nerve damage.

Sorry if my post misled you.....I was having LOTS of side effects, negative ones....and it was my personal choice to wean slowly off of it to get a clear and accurate picture of my pain levels, see how much of my nerve damage was permanent and re-evaluate nerve pain.

Hope that helped~
