    recommend  to TAPER very slow on gabapentin..you may want to rethink cold stop!!     this site offers info. basically reduce 10% per day..for 7 days MINIMUM, then another 10% until fully off.  too many side effects for many, be safe, and go sloe to avoid withdrawals too.  I also take 900mg a day, and will open the capsule, take to 1/3 from a 300mg cap..this is close to 11-12%  but easier to measure..   good luck.

    ps some people do 10% reduction for a month before going down another 10%..depending on how sensitive you

     are
