Suggest Ways To Wean Off Gabapentin
I am Diabetic with peripheral Neuropath. I am taking 200mg of Gabapentin Hydrocodone 5-325 Alprazolam 1mg Atenolol 50/25 Pioglitazone 45mg Simvastatin 40mg one 81mg Aspirin. Way to much, I want to get off most of the Medication especially the Gabapentin since I ve noticed hair loss since I ve been taking that Medication. What can I do, I feel like a dope addict. Thank you: YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
You should cut down to 100 mg of the gabapentin for two weeks then you can stop it. Your doctor may need to give you a new prescription for the 100mg capsules.
