Gabapentinoids Gabapentin Megathread

It seems to me that many of you have never even tried this drug. I guess that's a lot of people do though they just see what others are posting and agree with what they're saying without having any experience whatsoever.as an ex iv heroin addict I can tell you that this truck definitely has some recreational value.no it is not oxycodone or alprazolam but believe me take 3 grams and you're gonna feel good. It's kinda speedy a first vary social enhancing. aa good amount of euphoria. As it starts to taper off you get a more sedated relaxed feeling that last for a long time. Those of you that are comparing it to OTC antihistamines are completely retarded sorry but it's true.it's a great drug to do a couple times a month as tolerence buiilds fast. I thoroughly enjoy this neat little drug.it is actually quite safe too there's very little negative side effects and the LD50 is around 50 gram so you don't have to worry about ODing.like I said it's not an opiate or a benzo but it's a great pick me up.anything below 2.5 grams is worthless you're not going to feel the real effects. It's cousin pregabalin is gabapentin on crack. I know I'll get flame for this post and also I know there's going I do actually believe this drug affects different people in different ways. It is entirely possible that some people do not experiencethe positive aspects of the drug while others do such as myself. Just my $0.02 guys.
 
^^^yep, i agree, ive IVed heroin combined with other drugs and gabapentin is quite potent if used in an occasional basis..i hadnt take any in a year or so, last night took a measly 400 mgs and it gave me a nice mellow buzz but i had that somewhat manic type of energy that only ghb seems to give..the only drugs that have given a pronounced anti-anxiety effect while at same time giving you energy are gabapentin, ghb, and to lesser extent phenibut...ime gabapentins positive effects are only noticeable for 3-4 days then nasty brain fog kicks in and makes it worthless..
 
ive never taken over 2 grams of gabapentin and ive experienced very positive results so mega-dosing isnt necessary at all..
 
Ld around 50? That's a lot & chances are you'll just wake up sick from it no death involved

Hypothetical question

If they were acquired off the street who is at fault?
I understand this is no legal forum but theres no market for gabapentin on the street lol As far as I know
If they were from an md, psyci, or psycho then they would not be at fault unless it was someone like Michael Jackson

I've heard of dealers being charged with criminally negligent homicide for ODs but I don't even know if that's possible with gabapentin (I've taken 3.6 g in a day with little to no effect).
 
I sell gabapentin so not quite right that there is no street value. However there was a case in the uk where a guy sold his dad's fentanyl patches to a friend...and the friend ended up dead from OD. The guy who sold it went to prison.
 
True dat legal advice said he won't b stripped of anything his only punishment will be to get public transport to work but he can have a shot or 2 cuz ppl on bikes can have it in their system cuz they don't get they go unnoticed those fitness ppl with bike clothes on helmet are invisible you see em all the time
 
WHY would anyone take neurontin as a "rec drug"? i was prescribed this for years...about 4 or 5 years...i would...sometimes, empty the capsule & snort the powder & get a quick rush feeling, or so i thought...but i really was snorting it just because i had nothing else to put up my nose...my shrink gave this med to me for panic attacks, a long with klonipin & xanax...i was hit by a car & the mere sight of a car made me wig the fuck out...anyhow, i quit taking it cold turkey...about 10 years ago & for a few days after the fact, i did have mild seizures---WHICH SUCKED! now, i am on rx opiate pain meds for my fucked up back & the other day the dr. asked me if i had ever taken neurontin..LOL...i was like...'you have to be kidding me...& no, i'm not taking that shit ever again!!'
neurontin was a waste of space & money...IMO
 
Gabapentin should be taken off the market. The doctor who put me on it when I was detoxing methadone said it was safe and that it worked in GABA ....fucking moron. My current psychiatrist doesn't believe me when I tell him it gives me withdrawals between dosing or that you withdrawal from it period. It's understood that it works in the voltage gated calcium channels containing the α2δ subunit ..... but the lack of understanding exactly how this drug works and the various mechanisms of actions its responsible for resulting in it being prescribed for everything between epilepsy and drug withdrawal is fucking astounding. It's a shit anti-convulsant....its a weak anti-epileptic ..... it eases nerve pain for fibromyalgia ....yet it lowers the seizure threshold with remeron .... something my doctor decided to add to my regiment wanting to KEEP ME ON gabapentin..... he admitted he recently just discovered that it has recreational value....NO SHIT ..... yet he is hesitant to prescribe me a benzo. Gabapentin withdrawal is in its own right in-fucking-humane. Mind you I kicked being on methadone for 6 years basically cold turkey with a rapid taper. And this shit is up there with the worst. It's a different type of w/d....with symptoms comparable to opiate/benzo/alcohol all wrapped up in one lovely living hell.

GABA B receptor activity.... yet the GABA-B receptor is not completely understood in its ENTIRITY. So its just written off as not having anything to do with it..... this shit is fucking poison. Might as well go sniff a bag of dope....at least heroin/codeine/morphine/alkaloids mechanisms of action are understood and treatable....
 
Just found this thread after having been clean off of Lyrica for 6 months. Just wanted to share my experience with those who are just now discovering Pregabalin (Lyrica) and Gabapentin (Neurontin). The former is a much more potent form, perhaps 6x with fewer side effects due to decreased dosage, coupled with a longer half life.

First, I am am a member of the really really enjoy it group. For both I found the body high pleasant, desensitizing, and slightly uncoordinated. Mentally, thinking is slowed, sociability is increased, overall it's quite relaxing.

I started in with Neurontin and progressed to Lyrica back in '05, after discovering it's euphoric effects and then importing a KG of the latter from China. That began a love/hate affair that lasted through July of this year.

Gentlemen, if you fall into my camp and find the effects desirable, PLEASE mind your intake, taking it no more than twice a week or less if to be on the safe side. Lyrica withdrawal is hell, one of the worst I've ever experienced. Prior to this addiction, I ditched both Klonopin and Oxy habits, both per the most common recommendations found on these forums. Yea they sucked, but were ABSOLUTELY doable without the help of others. For Lyrica, rehab was a necessity.

Let me emphasize, that at one of the most famous rehab centers in North America, they had no idea how to deal with Lyrica withdrawal. I received Librium for 1 WEEK, which dear god is just amount the time it takes for one to start fully understanding all that the sudden absence of Lyrica entails. Body and mind are simply short circuited, to the point where one can feel like everything is utterly fucked, shattered, broken. I was depressed, anxious, insomniatic, paranoid, and angry, all of these to the EXTREME. My attending physicians all thought I had several serious mental disorders, and I was actually ejected from the residential program early because they could not handle me. The night I that broke down in tears, I was escorted by security to the Psyche ER. I acted out by throwing some magazines and letting my Psychiatrist know they had no idea how to treat this withdrawal. The next day I was home.

It took about 4 months for me to normalize. During that time my mood and behaviors were erratic. I know taking Neurontin during this time would have eased the pain, but from past experience it would also protract the hellish PAWS. To summarize, understand that you will hurt like all get out. Easily on the same level as benzo/opiate withdrawal, but more of a conflation of the nastiest symptoms. The kicker of course is the duration. A week without Oxy and things subside. A month tapering off benzos and there is noticeable improvement. 3-4 months is what to expect after rocking a serious Lyrica habit, perhaps a month or two with Neurontin due to its shorter half life.

I knew most of this back in 2005, and doctors still do not have a clue. You are the patient, you are the user, so take responsibility and understand the risk associated with abuse of these medications.

Holy crap. I guess this could be said for a lot of things if abused, taking 4-5x or probably even more.

yeah, I'm 8 days out from a sub taper and the first thing the DR suggested was neurontin. He only gave my one script for it. But he gave it to me.

I'm taking it. I have about 3 weeks worth. I'm sure I will be fine.
 
Never in my life will I ever touch Pregabalin again. Horrible shit. Same goes for Gabapentin.

Nasty drugs. Nearly killed me and did permanent neurological and neuropsychological damage to me. Should be off the market.

I would be more than happy to elaborate. However, the story is quite long so I will have to give you the Cliff Notes version. I have flagged the email that notified me of this thread being posted in to remind me to look at it tomorrow as it is 3AM and I should get some rest.
 
Thanks! I'm really quite interested to hear your story especially sine it involves actual damage, though i'm sorry you had to go through it at all. Far to many people post about disliking these two chemicals but rarely explain why. Think I should probably head to sleep as well as its really late, damn insomnia!
