Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I wasn't sure where to place it.
I was prescribed Gabapentin for anxiety & I've taken 100mg twice so far, one yesterday & one today. I want to stop taking it but I'm concerned about withdrawals.
Can anyone please tell me if it's ok to stop this medication after two days? Sorry if it's a stupid question lol.
Hi I think that you can stop any medication but best to contact your doctor for guidance.
May I ask you why you wish to stop taking it?

Thank you for replying.
Honestly, I just don't like the medication. It seems to be making problems that I already had, worse.
I took it and it caused severe depression so my neurologist discontinued it.
It has a halk life of 150 hours I think. I would check about withdrawing from it with your dr or the prescriber to be on the safe side..
Call the pharmacist say you only used two pills. Can i just stop using it. They will know.
That's a good idea, thank you.
Ugh I definitely couldn't afford that. It's good you got off.
HI, did you stop the Gabapentin and may I ask why? Everyone is different I want to try it agan but like you 1oomg a day for 2 wks
I am not happy with the caspule the chemist gave me as it has SLS in it - a chemicall found in cosmetics
Take care
Hi
What on earth is sls? Is it a new addition to Gabapentin? If so it explains a lot . What brand were you given?
Hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks for this valuable info
If this is to me ( which I think it is but sorry if it's not! ) I did stop taking the medicine. I stopped taking it because it seemed to make my pain worse. I Googled this & it seems like I'm not the only one who had this problem with Gabapentin.
I stopped taking it early so my body couldn't get too dependent on it before possibly quitting because I know it would've been 10,000 times more terrible.
What is SLS?
Thank you, you too <3
