Brief Answer:
Drugs to ease the symptoms may be used.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

There are no medications that may treat gabapentin withdrawal symptoms.

The treatment depends on the symptoms and aims to ease these symptoms.

For example drugs that may be used include antiemetic drugs for the nausea and vomitng ( metoclopramide, ondansetron), tranquilizers for the agitation/restlessness/depresion ( alprazolam, lorazepam, amitriptyline ), etc.

It is necessary to stay well hydrated and to avoid alcohol.

These drugs should be used only in short term and should be prescribed by your Doctor.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
