started 200mg gabapentin a day in early feb actually for migraine but im anxiety & OCD, I stopped cold turkey after 3 weeks as it worsenend depression & anxiety but had lots of rebound
Im so unstable I only really realised I should not have gone cold turkey a few days ago. Have had a few weeks of agitation, anxiety , insomnia etc
Took a little clonazepam for sleep occasionally , took last dose a week ago (1/4 tablet)
Having issues with withdrawal at the moment, is this still of both?
I feel such a dick for missing that I should taper, what's the best thing to do
Need advice and help

You can always go back to what you were taking and then taper. Both gabapentin an clonazapam are habit forming, and stopping either one abruptly will lead to uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, although if you've only taken three weeks they should not be that severe.
Thanks . Yes I agree problem was I became very emotionally unstable and it went from my mind. I'm discussing if I can reintroduce the medication for a while and taper properly.
