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.
Hola, creo que puedes dejar cualquier medicación, pero lo mejor es contactar a tu médico para obtener orientación.
¿Puedo preguntarte por qué deseas dejar de tomarlo?

Thank you for replying.
Honestly, I just don't like the medication. It seems to be making problems that I already had, worse.
Lo tomé y me causó una depresión muy grave, por lo que mi neurólogo lo suspendió.
Tiene una vida media de 150 horas, creo. Recomendaría consultar con su médico o el prescriptor sobre la retirada del medicamento para estar seguro.
Llama al farmacéutico y dile que solo usaste dos pastillas. ¿Puedo dejar de usarlo? Ellos lo sabrán. ;
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
Hola
¿Qué diablos es SLS? ¿Es un nuevo componente de la Gabapentina? Si es así, explica mucho. ¿Qué marca te dieron?
Espero tener noticias tuyas pronto. Muchas gracias por esta información valiosa
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
