hi everyone- I am managing my RLS better through diet and supplements now and only take 100mg of gabapentin a night, I want to stop for a while and see how it goes, do I need to reduce the dose at this level or can I just stop taking it? Thanks!

At only 100 mg you can just stop taking it.

What's you diet/supplement routine?

Depends on how long you have been on it. Many people find the last dose of gabapentin/pregabalin the most difficult to come off. Some people use the water titration method to come off it completely. This is more relevant when one has been on a high dose and for a lengthy period of time.
