Gabapentin tapering and Panic Attacks

[brodytexas]

I have tapered down from Gabapentin from 200mg 3x a day to just 100mg once a day, All of a sudden panic attacks are starting, I realize and feel they are related to the tapering. Any thoughts of help for the panic attack,

Obviously check with your doctor — or better yet—- pharmacist (for interactions) which are unlikely but better to be safe. I highly recommend a high dose of vitamin b1 daily. It has helped both my daughter and I tremendously with panic attacks. B1 calms the nervous system and for me, works within a half hour of taking it. We take 500mg daily. B1 can’t build up in your body. Whatever excess there is of it, the body gets rid of. My panic attacks are gone after taking this vitamin!

Thank You i was wondering about L Theanine (B1) I started taking 200mg twice a day today.Will let you know how it pans out. The trouble I have is with having to take Plavix I have to be careful what with what I can take.
