How Long Do Withdrawal Side Effects Of Gabapentin Last (Page 2)

I stopped taking a 300 mg twice a day dose of gabapentin last tues. I feel awful depressed sweaty moody irritated emotional very dizzy. How long will I keep feelin this way? My doc had me stop it right away, because I was suppose to go on lyrica. Which honestly I don't want to start taking pain or no pain.
I started slurring my words on the gabapentin then felt like wherever I was, I was inside a bubble it was a terrible feeling

Hello,
What you described sounds identical to my current situation. I was on 1200 mg for only 5 months. Getting off It has been the hardest thing in my entire life to go through. I'm now at day 25 off of the gabapentin and I'm still dealing with anxiety, headaches and depression. I've never had problems with these things in my past. I'm wondering how your doing now, and how long did it take to feel normal again? I need reassurance that I'm not going crazy or that the horrible drug permanently ruined my brain. I'm really curious how you're doing now. Thanks
