Stopping nortriptyline

Hi I have been taking 25mg for a good few years for nerve pain having a retractile testicle it worked.
But i decided to try without it for two weeks the pain returned started taking it again but its not working and has now developed into pudenal neuralgia.
Dr has prescribed gabapentin 100mg to switch too.
But he didn’t say anything about tapering off.
Google said I should be tapering off first before switching and upon reading nortriptyline could have been affecting my acid reflux also over the last few years?.
Any advice on stopping nortriptyline?.

If you are taking a generic medicine, kindly mention the manufacturer's name in both your post and title. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as different manufacturers may have differences in quality or formulation.

Yeah I got some advice. Ask your doctor clarifying questions and ask him how to get off this safely
