I'm down to 1 capsule per day. I hate that Gabapentin is in only capsules!
I haven't noticed any withdrawal symptoms, except the sleep problem, which is miserable. I think that what you're doing with pouring some of the powder out is smart. That's what I'll be doing with myself, too.
How long has your dog been on the Gabapentin? I am pretty sure that the longer it's been taken the more difficult the withdrawal will be.

Thanks for the reply. She’s been on it a few months which I know in the big picture isn’t that long but I also know that our bodies can get hooked on these chemicals really quickly sometimes so I just don’t want her to suffer if I can help it.
