I have been taking neurontin for about two months. I went from 300 for about a month to 400 one week and 500 for about 3 weeks. What will happen if i stop cold turkey? trying to find out if the neurontin is giving me the heart palpitations. Thanks.

From 500mg, perhaps nothing. The question is, why would you want to? Why don't you just reduce the dosage by 100mg each day? Abrupt discontinuation of Neurontin might actually cause you to experience anxiety and an increase in heart palpitations.

The medicine was given go me so it would lesson the pain in my bladder (interstitial cystitis). I personally just want the heart thing to go away. I was doing 300 and still pain. Then when i moved to 400 the pain still there and when i moved to 500 pain was gone. I am really stuck. Right now i only took 100 today and i have a headache and i am sure it is cause of only the one pill i took today.

My friend stopped 400mg cold turkey because it was interferring with another med. she had too take.
She had terrible anxiety and deep, deep depression.
Try not to go cold turkey off any medication.
