Gabapentin ? Anyone have my history with it?

[aaMizer720]

I was prescribed it for help with oxycodone withdrawals. BUT I’m going to use it mostly at night for restless legs. I am prescribed 800 MG. Once at night . Is that a high dose ? Should I expect side effects ? Etc. thanks !

ThAts a pretty high dose at first but the dose can easily climb up to 1800+ mgs a day some people even 3000-5000 but daily usage for long period of time is dangerous as shit.
I have 600s and if I wanted to get High right now I would take 1200-1500 mgs probably.
It's best to spread it every hour with some food or fats and take 300-600 mgs every hour rather than 1200 at once but everyone is different in how they want they High to feel . Some want to take it and get a "rush" but really no matter how much you take you won't get a "high" that people think of, at a certain point you get sleepy as fuck and it just lingers through out the day so it's not a drug to chase a high with.

You might wake up and get diarrhea sometimes, at least I did, from gabapentin so if u notice farts and bowel movements that are new it's probably that. Also a dry mouth time to time but nothing major, maybe grogginess the next morning that lasts and u feel off

Good luck

Gabapentin (Neurontin) is not DANGEROUS! What is with this epidemic of people posting shit that they don't truly understand? Gorillaboy, what would cause you to say something like this with such confidence? Gabapentinoids are generally safe, even in heroic, irrationally high dosages. They can be quite helpful for those struggling with addiction to mitigate withdrawal symptoms and seem to be relatively effective antidepressants/anxiolytics.

Misinformation is poison guys. Make sure you know what you are talking about. If you don't know something for sure, word your post in the form of a question.

Taking gabapentin daily for an extended period of time is only "dangerous as shit" in terms of the withdrawal symptoms. It can cause a vertigo/dizziness that could lead to injury or even death in the wrong situation. I fell through the glass door of the stall once while showering and across the bathroom floor. Geometry and gravity and "up" and "down" just kinda spit you out when you have vertigo.

^ This happened to me with the GI symptoms and not even at high doses. I'm prescribed to take 300 mg three times a day. Mizer, I saw in your other thread that you were getting oxymorphone now. Are you experiencing oxycodone withdrawals?

Calderone, I am having oxycodone withdrawals. I took 40 mg opana IR orally and snorted 10 mg of the Opana IR. Didn’t feel a whole bunch. But withdrawals are gone. In which they should be right ? I have a pounding headache from snorting them though.
