I was prescribed gabapentin for anxiety and depression. I was doing 300 mg each day for the first month or so and then 600 mg each day for the next two months. Then I stopped cold turkey and had all sorts of withdrawals symptoms: this is when my essential tremors started; tinnitus; difficulty walking straight; bad headaches; poor muscle coordination; itching and burning sensations all over my skin (especially if I ate anything sweet or did not sleep well). Make sure you DO NOT stop cold turkey and gradually reduce it under a doctor’s supervision. I am much better now after three months of stopping gabapentin but still has the symptoms, albeit milder.

Hey Cindy, how long have you been taking gabapentin? Have you tried propranolol and primidone before?
