Update gabapentin

Hi Sue. My doctor doesn't want me to change to pregabalin because when I tried it before I had really bad memory loss and I must say I don't want to go there again.

I want to wean myself back to a lower dose of gabapentin because I am not getting anymore sleep as when I was on a much lower dose, would you please tell me how often I should reduce and by how much at a time, thank you so much for all of your help, I wish it could've worked better for me.

Reduce by 100 to 200 mg every 2 weeks.
