Gabapentin is a anticonvulsant that is also used to help treat/prevent nerve pain. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes.

There are other similar medications available, but they all require a prescription, so there is nothing equivalent available over the counter.

Why do you want to stop taking it?
