Since it's excreted via the kidneys, would this work?

And, hey, I have uncontrolled diabetes so my urine is actually as sweet as soda lol*


*In the olden timey times, doctors used to taste a persons urine to test for diabetes. I tasted like the TEENIEST drop of mine once out of curiosity and yeah it was legit sweet. Like on par with fruit juice.

Can the gabapentin WDs kill or maim? I haven't heard so...while they feel awful.

Urine is actually pretty toxic. Against what risk it would be good decision...I can't make it for you. I hope this is hypothetical.

If you puke...you lose all other medicines in your stomach and maybe even upper guts. Except if you eat the puke.
 
I wouln't recommend this avenue. I tried a couple of times back when I was using amanita muscaria a lot but it was so gross it would ruin the trip as I'd be unable to stop thinking about it afterward. Even to this day I am grossed out by it.

Absolutely hypothetical, yes. I'm currently taking around 6000mg a day (sometimes more like 7,800mg) so you can imagine the withdrawals. I'm not sure if the withdrawals can kill - definitely not like alcohol can - but I have had tonic-clonic seizures from Gabapentin withdrawal before.
 
Damn. That's horrific. I would say absolutely not. Go to a hospital. You don't live in the US, right? If you drink your own piss chances are that's where you're going anyway. Please, please, don't.

Damn man. That's gotta be some trauma fuel. You're already half delirious and remember 'i can get higher if I just drink this, and the mushrooms themselves were nasty, fuckit'. Should taken more and forgotten ma boi
 
Gabapentin withdrawal won't cause death directly. You could have a seizure and hit your head and die, or a number of other freak occurances could occur, but it isn't like benzo or alcohol withdrawal.

Gabapentin is excreted in urine mostly unchanged, so it is in the urine, but so is a bunch of other stuff you dont want to drink.

Based on all these posts it sounds like you need inpatient detox man.
 
For the hundred time - dont drink your pee to redose. First there was Vyvanse (https://www.bluelight.org/community...yvanse-to-guarantee-you-get-some-more.888720/), then tramadol (https://www.bluelight.org/community...sible-help-for-those-desperate-and-wd.894871/), then that stand-up meth pee drinker... For the sake of everyones health please just dont.

If anyone is seriously thinking about this I am truly sorry for the pain and fear you're experiencing. But please consider any conventional routs like detox (or heck even psych ward) before trying to figure out is drinking your urin to get some extra dose even remotely appropriate. I understand how misery can break a person but pee is not the answer.
 
Nah, don't do that. Also 6 grams is a ridiculous amount of daily gabapentin. You should not be taking that much, should definitely try to taper down or the side effects from withdrawal will only become worse. You don't have to stop it completely, if it helps you obviously, but there's no way taking that much gabapentin will ever result in anything good.
 
Man, I feel for you. Don't drink pee. I did, in my worst times. It did nothing, just sets another trauma, you'll have to deal with.
I think this is pretty much rock bottom. I mean, you are ready for something gross.
Would you eat your poo too?
Find a doctor to taper. Be honest.
That's your day, man.
Don't ruin it with piss drinking. Also as an addict, you'll never reach that stage of full withdrawal.
In strong words, you'll eat poo poo, or kill an old lady.
Seriously, sometimes we need to seek some professional help.
