Hello, Noble! How are you?

Are you tapering or just trying to stop it abruptly?

If you stop abruptly it can create the risk of seizures, according to the FDA. Other withdrawal effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, depression and headache.

I've looked into natural herbal teas to ease WD's from gabapentin. I found Valerian root, lemon balm, passionflower, hops, and chamomile along with lavender flowers combined into a tea helps greatly!

Thanks for the reply. I have tapered down to 100mgs. Scared to jump off. I awfully terrified of heights. I've heard some awful stories.
