What Causes Rash Under Both Breasts And Dizziness After Tapering Gabapentin?

Continue to taper gabapentin
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and agree that gabapentin needs to be slowly tapered and stopped. this is to prevent any withdrawal symptoms, most importantly seizures.
As of now, you are on the smallest daily dose. Now, you can make it every alternate day. After 7 days, make it once in 3 days. After another week, make it once in 4 days. After 7 more days, make it once in 5 days. After 7 more days, make it once six days, then, after one week, once a week, and then stop.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
