Opioids Can you take Gabapentin every 3 days & not get a tolerance?

[Gordon]

Would it build up in your system? is 3 days enough to rid of all the previous Gabapentin and doses? for instance someone takes 300mg every 3-4 days, would that be enough to get a buzz without building a tolerance? or how long do you have to wait before Gabapentin is out of your system?

thank you.

Tolerance will still build, just more slowly

Check out the half-life on Wikipedia, multiply that by 5.5, and that's about the number of hours for it to leave your system after the last dose

If you're looking for zero tolerance build then two weeks is more of a ballpark number

The thing is Ive been doing that for the last2 months, and still feel a buzz and no withdrawals. Ive gone 1 week sometimes without Gabapentin and have had no withdrawals. So was just wondering if you can separate 3-4 days when you take GABA without building a tolerance. I also drink lot of water too so that perhaps may speed the GABA out!!!..

UM.. I didn't think gabapetin was even pleasurable, much less holding a buzz??? A friend gave me two of those, I just read they help opiate withdrawal..

If by tolerance you mean taking it more often then I can say that no matter how long you take a break, the buzz starts to wear off after the first one or two times.

Yesterday, after not taking any gabapentin for at least 3 months (and having only 4-5 experiences) I got 90 600mg from the pharmacy and took almost 9,000mg throughout the day. Now that was a dumb idea taking that much for a few reasons but what I'll say is the good part never came (why I continued dosing throughout the day). I seemed to have skipped right over it and ended up stumbling around, thinking the WEIRDEST shit, and unable to fall asleep. Needless to say the magic was gone and I'm just gonna take these therapeutically from here on out. That's my experience..hope I could help
