Generally speaking, it is a good idea to taper any anticovulsant in order to avoid rebound seizures. Having said that, many people taper gabapentin rapidly or not at all. I stopped taking it abruptly because I was having a bad reaction to it. I would say that gabapentin is substantially less liable to cause rebound seizures than other anticonvulsants. If I were in your position, taking into account your low dosage, I would taper the dosage over the course of three days, just to be sure.
Give others a chance to reply. You might get better advice. What does your doctor have to say?
What drug or drugs are you thinking of taking?
