>Yes, I suffered from anxiety, agitation hot and cold flashes, increased depression and insomnia for about 10 days. And that was with a taper, but not long or gradual enough obviously. But fyi, it was a walk in the park compared to discontinuing Neurontin's new relative, Lyrica.
But then other people here claim to have stopped it cold turkey with no withdrawal. So as usual YMMV.
Taper the drug as slowly as you can to minimize withdrawal. Good luck.
