Firstly I was prescribed gabapentin to come off of kratom. I began tapering kratom.... The only drug u used this year was kratom, that is until I decided to taper then quit cold turkey after a long try at tapering. I began drinking and smoking weed during the taper and taking gabapentin. The taper went well but I quit my job (for good reason) and decided to cold turkey the day after that. Why not I had time off. I've been off it almost 3 weeks. So I have been taking gabapentin on most days for a few months now (5 or so months) since I began the tsper. When I went cold turkey a friend offered me xanax. Mind you I hadn't taken anything but kratom, alcohol, gabapentin and weed all year AND I only took kratom until I began tapering it. Substituting and using comfort meds was not the best idea in retrospect. Then the same friend offered me meth a shit ton for $20. More than an 8ball. He found it on the floor of his truck lol. Anyways,, I ended up flushing most of it because it scared the shit out of me after a couple days... bad Idea taking it in the first place. I spent three days awake and scared the shit out of my roomate. Anyways I stopped that after two days of use. But I continued the xanax. Then I quit the xanax. But get this, near the end of my taper I was having heroin cravings. I haven't had strong heroin cravings in years really. So after I quit (a week or so off kratom) my dumbass decided to do heroin. So I did heroin for 2 days on 1 day off and 3 days on. And I definitely was having withdrawal from it so I sourced some subs and took 4mg the first day - 4mg the second - 2mg the third day - 1mg the 4th day - and today 1mg (so far).
So, Nvm about the gabapentin wd. There's no way to tell if what I'm experiencing is partially gabaoentin withdrawal. But i do get comfortable mid day if I haven't taken it.
So I guess this post is just here for support lol. I'm just on 1mg sub and 800-1600mg gabapentin a day rn. Some nights u have impulsively drank a little to help sleep. I don't want to drink either. That's it for use the last few days though
Edit: My doctor also gave me ambien for sleep. I didn't tell her about all the drugs I was taking. But on the first two nights I took the ambien I was behaving. Surprisingly the ambien didn't seem to have any noticeable effects. Except I cleaned the house. I remember cleaning it. But I don't remember feeling high or anything. After that is when I dabbled with heroin and then now suboxone. The last two nights is when I "relapsed" on heroin for a short stint. Mind you it's been years since I've taken heroin for more than a night and about 8 months since I took any at all. Years since I've been hooked on heroin/pain pills etc. Infact up until kratom last year I haven't been badly hooked on opiates/opioids in years. Kratom for me had wayyyy too many side effects and my health suffered very badly because of it. However, I was able to work and function. Right now I can't function. I need to be clean. But I've truly fucked up this kratom quit and now have to taper suboxone. Which honestly is worse. Luckily I haven't been on it long. But I wake up feeling shitty af
