I am tapering off and it has been a complete nightmare. I have lost 30 pounds while on this drug along with other my sanity. Would rather deal with my back pain with no medications now because of this traumatic experience.
Please do research and work with your doctor to taper off the right way as doing it on your own can be outright dangerous. I ended up in the ER.

It's not normal.....it is withdrawal from Gabapentin . T hat is a very high amount to have to quit cold turkey. It can even be dangerous. I think you had better get to your Doctor and soon as possible and renew the dose.......Going off gaba. takes quite a while and has to be done very slowly.........There are many more side effect from withdrawal than you have stated.........do an internet search about it.......it's quite devastating to realize how powerful this drug is.
