So i was on gabapentin for 8 years for nerve pain, i ended up moving to colorado to become an electrician. but did poor planning for doctors which were backed up 4+ months which caused me to run out. thankfully my bosses girlfriend had a bunch of lower MG she gave me, My initial dose was 600 4 times daily, i tapered down from 600 4x to 600 2x then lower and lower till i was at 50 once a day (this taper was over 2 weeks) to successfully detox and not worry about work my boss went vacation wednesday to monday, so i took the last dose wednesday to get through the day, got home smoked bud and took my meds and hoped for the best, the next morning i woke up feeling OK. i went to walgreens to get the usual detox shit. and when i got back it started to hit me, and i knew that this wasn't going to be pleasant. stomach aches, and anxiety the first day and no sleep, the 2nd day was worst then the first, I'm in full blown detox, it feels like you are severely dope sick minus the chills and shitting everywhere. my hands were so shaky that pouring a glass id miss a lot of it. it went on like this till friday is when i started puking, roughly 3 times a day, i felt so horrible that i was contemplating suicide, it fucked with my mind so bad i would see jolts of light across the air. monday came and i had to call out, i knew tomorrow wasn't going to be any better so i got my hands on some xanax and it did take the edge off. but i was still throwing up every morning for 3 months, and had morning sickness for 8 months. Do not go on this drug for an extensive period of time. when i was prescribed it they said it was non addictive. which is BS I'm glad to be off this drug, worse. longest. drawn out, unpleasant detox ever.
