Hey, guys. A friend of mine (no, seriously) is a binge drinker (he has been steadily sipping vodka for the last five days) who is about to go through some pretty intense withdrawals. I gave him a bottle of vitamin B1, which I know will only help a tiny bit if any, and he has a bottle of 40 100mg Gabapentin. Is this enough to ease his withdrawals even slightly? I take Gabapentin for migraines, and now that I know how to divy-up and stagger my 600mg 3x's a day dosage, it has helped with so much more (even coming off benzos and opiates but alcohol is one thing I never got into, so I'm totally out of my element here).
Can anyone offer advice regarding the Gabapentin and/or for dealing with this in general? I realize medical detox is probably the way to go, but there is no way he's going. Period.
