Howard is a lifetime New Yorker, lover of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, and aims to catalog every hole in the human body and what people squirrel inside. Oh, and he's a toxicologist as well.

Chris is a Michigander transplant living in the shadow of Dan’s hillbilly Blue Ridge Mountains where moonshine flows freely and hiking trails abound. His time is consumed by not only work, but also the activities of his 6 children. He leads and works closely with numerous entities within the University of Virginia.

David Juurlink – @DavidJuurlink

Dave came perilously close to life as a mediocre drummer living in a van down by the river. Somehow, he ended up as an internist, clinical pharmacologist and medical toxicologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences in Toronto. In his spare time, he’s a dad/chauffeur/ATM to a household of kids, passable cook, mediocre drummer, mediocre-er squash player and snowboarder-treehunter hybrid.

Jeanna Marraffa – @jmmarraffa

Jeanna comes to you from the snowiest city in the U.S. She wears the structure of serotonin on her lab coat, partly to stump her students, but mainly because she is kind of nerdy. She is a wanna-be runner, a part time yogi and an all 'round lover of sun and sand. She likes drugs :). And their mechanisms. Because of that she doped her way through pharmacy school and yada-yada-yada is now a clinical toxicologist.

Any direction in regard to gabapentin taper schedule?
I am an EP, volunteer medical director for a recovery center.
Many half-way houses are starting to require transfers from the recovery centers to be off gabapentin, which I agree with in almost all cases.
I’ve been searching for a reasonable tapering guideline and cannot find much out there.
I realize that this is a new enough topic that there probably isn’t anything that has significant research to back it up. I would appreciate a tox community opinion on what would be reasonable to try, based on known pharmacokinetics, past experience, etc. Thanks.
