Depending on the dose used, the time of elimination from the body is 26-53 hours. The higher the dose, the more time is needed for elimination. It is difficult to propose a specific method of ending Gabapentin therapy on the basis of such a short description. I encourage you to make an appointment with a doctor who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition. A colleague also answered a similar question in the thread: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/52435/gabapentin-czy-mozna-stosowac-jednoczesnie-gabapentyne-i-pregabaline I attach additional information that may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki
Both drugs affect the same GABA receptors. The question should not be after what time after, but why one of the drugs is replaced by another with a similar handle of action. However, referring to the question - it can be used the next day after the end of the use of one of them - of course, gradually increasing the dose (the exception is epilepsy, in which the dose must be individually adapted to the patient - it can not be less, so that there is no risk of seizures).
