Gabapentinoids Gabapentin Megathread

Taking this drug at doses higher than 600mg/day for more than a few days makes me feel disgustingly cloudy and stupid. People should do more research on side effects before shoving grams of this drug down their throat on a daily basis.

To me, it is an amazingly effective analgesic for neuropathy, but it loses effectiveness when taken more than a couple days in a row, so take it every 2-3 days at the very most if you are using it to treat pain or anxiety, and stick to the lowest dosage that works for you.

Honestly, I think L-Theanine is a far better choice than Gabapentin, as it works in the same way, but actually is a nootropic, unlike "morontin." It is also more sedating than Gabapentin, and doesn't give you that weird tachycardia that Gabapentin and Lyrica. I would recommend taking up to 400mg L-Theanine a day to supplement a low Gabapentin dosage, such as 300mg once or twice a day.
 
Neurontin!

Hey guys!
I just got prescribed 900mg of neurontin a day, and I find that at 1800mg my anxiety almost completely vanishes.
Also, when I take 1800mg at once I feel a speedy, sensual rush followed by a mellow, less-tired benzoish high.

After years of chronic anxiety, I feel as if I can finally think clearly.
I recommend this drug to anyone who may have anxiety or mild pain... perhaps not as much as a recreational drug.
Also, since I have never been prescribed any "scheduled" or addictive drugs (such as benzos, amphetamines, opiates, ect) it is a relief to find a pill that can finally help with my anxiety, addiction, and depression that is not very dangerous.
Neurontin is almost enough to maker me swear of benzos completely! (I think I might!)

Anyone else have experiences with this wonderful drug?
 
I take 600mg of neurontin for anxiety/drug craving relief 1200-2100mg of neurontin for a very interesting, social buzz. I normally take it after a meal or snack, and drink a bottle of carbonated water along with it. Within about two hours, I am normally beginning to feel the effects. Have fun and be safe!
 
Wait until you go through a week on that high of a dosage, and see if you're still "thinking clearly." Neurontin can cause some serious cognitive impairment at high doses, worse than benzos relative to its anxiolytic potential.

I would recommend using this drug at doses of 600-1200mg at most every other day, or 600mg if you absolutely must take it daily. Short term tolerance builds very quickly with this drug, so it's best to use it no more than 2-3 times a week at a max dosage of 1200-1500mg if you want the full potential.

And, yes, as stated above, use the search engine and welcome to the Bluelight! :)
 
300mg Gabapentin with 200mg L-Theanine down the hatch, for some neuropathic pain relief. I find these two drugs, along with pregabalin, to be amazingly effective for neuropathic pain.

I gave a single 100mg capsule of L-Theanine to a family member when she ran out of her 300mg bid gabapentin script (forgot to refill, doesn't buse), and she felt appreciable pain relief from her sciatica; nowhere near the relief of 300mg gabapentin, but the pain relief was still noticeable.
 
not sure if this is allowed but i was given 4 gabapentin, just unsure of the doses. they are light yellow gel caps with no dosage written on them. i'm in the uk. i was told to just take 2. i did and i noticed a sort of manic effect, a little slurred speech, slightly unsteady on my feet and felt very chatty with elevated mood, getting to sleep was no issue either even though i suffer from insonmia. not exactly a recreational feeling but certainly didnt feel bad. thinking about redosing tonight but i would like to know the dose i am taking.
anybody any clue? i tried google.
 
It's really bad practice to take madications with out knowing the dose.

Gabapentin has yellow pills but they also have numbers in them.

We don't do pill ID on Bluelight.
 
^^ are you sure? Because I see mods on here do it all the time to ensure a form of harm reduction?

Those would be 300mg each. Anything above 300mg is a tablet rather than a capsule.
 
^^ they could also be 400mg capsules, since I've taken both dosages before.

Gabapentin has recreational use for me, but only if I space out dosing by a week or two. I take what would seem to be obscene amounts to others (8000mg+), but like others have said, tolerance builds & its near impossible to overdose on.

I feel a lightness in my head with some drowsiness, & physically I get really uncoordinated, but i like that.. lol. To each their own.
 
I have a very liberal doctor... he prescribes for me 800mg Gaba 4x daily and I have to use mail order prescription and get a 90 day supply each time. Doing the math.... 4 x 30 x 3 = 360 tablets. :) I just got my refill the other day and the pills are huge so they came in 4 large bottles filled to the brim! :) Too bad they don't do much for me except I feel a slightly better buzz when taken with my alprazolam.
 
^ Wow, 3200mg of Gabapentin a day has to have horrible cognitive side effects. They don't call it morontin for nothing! :)

Also, Gabapentin and Pregabalin greatly potentiates benzos at the cost of "dirtying" up the high and making the making the cognitive side effects of benzos even worse. Be careful with combining the two, as there is much greater potentiation with megadoses of gabapentin/pregabalin mixed with benzos rather than alcohol mixed with benzos.

Alcohol and benzos are both positive allosoteric modulators of GABA, while gabapentin/pregs actually increase the levels of GABA in the brain. Gabapentin is to benzos as gasoline is to fire; you might know the limits of starting a controlled fire, but once you throw some gas on it (gabapentin), things could get messy really quickly.
 
When I first used neurontin a friend had give me some 300 mg capsules. im limited to the variety of drugs i can take because im currently lockdowned on weekly no tolerance drug tests (usually 3-4 times a week) Being the drug addict i am i was quick to take them. At first it was a very enjoyable high, but it didnt last long.. around 4 hours and afterwards i became very sleepy.MAYBE


As of today i am prescribed 800 mg gabapentin and find that my tolerance to the drug is very high. recreationally i MAYBE can get high once a week on them. that is if im lucky.
 
my doctor has offered to prescribe me this for my fibromyalgia. either this or pregabalin. has anyone taken it for this reason and did it help? also, im a university student and i dont want to take anything if its going to make it difficult for me to concerntrate. should i be concerned about this?

That makes sense. Anytime I would take Gabapentin I would wake up not knowing what the fuck happened. This is under the 1400mg mark too. I think 900mgs did this several times. Its hard to really count. I never liked it so I stopped. I guess the relevance is I also was taking and do take alprazolam everyday so it def fucked me up in a messy weird way.
 
gabapentin worked great for me at the start as well..made me much moree social, empathetic, energized, just a better mood...i would cycle it, use it for 2-3 days then stop to avoid tolerance as it seemed after 2 days it would poop out...after a few months of this i now no longer get real good effects from gabapentin..now, i can only take it for a day for its positive effects and anything beyond that i just become numb and just dulled out..
 
Taking 300mg every one hour, since the morning to the night, reaching the 2g, makes me incredibly high the first or two times I do it. Tolerance grows in two or three days for me.
It makes my vision super blurry and I feel floaty like I was on GBL... also, taking it with Codeine and benzos, it's incredible relaxing and at the same time euphoric, one of the best combos I ever done I think. Too bad have to wait like 2 or even 3 weeks for the tolerance to go down again.
It makes me love everything around me and everything seems interesting.
 
I find that 6-300mg capsules get me extremely high, like a coke high without the comedown, talkative, happy, on task with household chores ect. Lasts for hours and hours, down side extremely dry mouth but the come down is nice and mellow euphoric until I'm ready for bed.
Also to potenate I use orange juice or citrus juice empty capsules into about a shot of juice and slam it down. It tastes awful really awful so do it quick. I can do this about twice a week if I try more tolerance is to high and I just end up sleepy. This was a major help for opiate withdrawal I had a few years back. Also greatly helps with my fibro.
