\n<\/p><\/div>"} Reduce your dose gradually over at least a week. The usual dose of gabapentin to: treat epilepsy in adults and older children (aged 12 years and over) is between 900mg and 3,600mg a day split into 3 doses Please help us continue to provide you with our trusted how-to guides and videos for free by whitelisting wikiHow on your ad blocker. The doctor will likely have you reduce your dose little by little each day. If you really can’t stand to see another ad again, then please We use cookies to make wikiHow great. Your support helps wikiHow to create more in-depth illustrated articles and videos and to share our trusted brand of instructional content with millions of people all over the world. Typically, this reduction process lasts at least a week, to get your body used to not taking the medication. I have been taking it for sciatic for approximately 8 years when I started with 100 mg t.i.d. It is therefore suggested that the discontinuation of gabapentin in off-label prescribing should also be tapered for a minimum of one week. If anything at all, the withdrawal will be very mild. Gabapentin is a prescription medicine. I'd like to try to eliminate this drug if possible. The dose of gabapentin available under the trade name GRALISE (R) should be adjusted in patients with reduced renal function. I suggest looking for a different doctor; since it is not narcotic, asking for a taper shouldn’t be a problem. Select one or more newsletters to continue.
