Do not stop suddenly

Official label information

Neurontin and Gralise labeling instruct gradual withdrawal rather than sudden stops. Seizure frequency may increase if the drug is stopped abruptly in people with epilepsy.

Plain-language explanation

Stopping certain nervous-system medicines abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms or may worsen the condition being treated. A clinician can decide whether and how treatment should be changed.

What this often means for gabapentin products

This website will not convert that “minimum of one week” language into a personal milligram calendar. Kidney function, product type, and indication all change the plan. Contact the prescriber if you are running out or want to stop.

Ask your pharmacist

Ask for the safest contact route if you think the medicine is causing an intolerable effect.

Caution: Emergency symptoms still require urgent care rather than waiting for routine advice.
