baby day tomrorow

Well, we get to meet our newest addition tomorrow , can hardly wait.  !!!  I was wondering if this is the best time for me to be decreasing my Gabapentin, and Baclofen.  I have gone from 3300mgs to 1800 mgs of Gaba, and down to 20mgs. on Baclofen from 40 mgs.

So far it has been going pretty well, I'm wondering what and if more symptons are on their way with the reduction.   ???  

Thanks guys, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends and family,
((HUGS))

I think it's difficult to predict since we respond differently to various meds and have different experiences weaning off of them.  I'm guessing the most likely problem you might have is an increase in whatever symptoms you had for which you were taking these meds to begin with.  Also they say there's a risk of seizure if one weans off an anticonvulsant too quickly, I guess this would be a rebound effect, however my pharmacist advised me that actual incidence is quite rare.

Congratulations on your new grandchild!
