Hi @Joseph S, welcome to Taper Community! Congrats for getting off the benzo. Yes, I hear that withdrawal from Gabapentin can be tough. Are you tapering Hyperbolically and cutting no more than 10% each month? If symptoms are unbearable, then that is a sign you may need to wait longer between reductions or reduce by a lesser amount. https://taper.community/drugs/gabapentin https://taper.community/forums/gabapentin We look forward to having you here. Feel free to connect with other members who are tapering this drug. Catina ๐ŸŒธ

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg

Hi @Joseph S. I'm currently tapering clonazepam and yes, brutal is the proper word for it. If you can share about your journey getting rid of it I would be very grateful. I wish you the very best in the next journey with Gabapentin. You will make it!
