K so Gabapentin question time.. I am curious if you were to take around 1500 mg's of gaba, is there any hangover-ish feelings next day? Please refrain from ANY advice on combinations, or ANY comments about gaba being crap, etc.

I took gaba for the first time, about 900 mg's (staggered 150 mg doses every 45 minutes), last Monday late in the evening, it took so long to get to that 900 mg's and by the time i started noticing gaba's effects, i was having to go to bed because i had work the next morning. the next day at work was pretty cool though, i woke up feeling kinda drunkish but friendly and not as nervous as normal..funnily though someone did make a comment that i seemed "off" lol Seeing as how it has not been a full week since the last time I ingested gaba, is it safe to take 1500 mg's by staggering 300 mg's every 20-30 mins or is that a waste?

Just wanting to stay safe & effective
 
Gabaentin is a drug I have a lot of experience with. I get 280 300mg pills a month.

Short and sweet, this is how I use gabapentin and what it acheives.

I begin with 900mg and continue taking 600-900 every 30 mine until i have begun to feel noticeable effects. For me I begin to feel it after about 2 hours from my first dose. That's around 4500mg. Ive taken as much as 15000mg in a day with no hangover effects the next day. Intact Ive never had a negative effect from gabapentin.

Gabapentin is relatively one of the safest drugs you can possibly take. Numerous studies have shown that gabapentin is nearly impossible to.overdose on because of the diminishing bioavailability with the more you consume.

Give yourself pleanty of time to feel that gabapentin. Effects come on slow and take up too 4 hours to appear at times. I would base your dozing on how you feel. If 1500mg feels good stick with it. If you Desiree stronger effects try 3000mg next time.
 
I've gotten to 1800 mgs and am about 5 hours deep. I am definitely feelin it, it's like I am drunk. My eyes feel like there's pressure building up behind them, but it doesn't hurt just feels funny. What does it feel like at higher doses? Don't feel euphoric at all right now, just a big drop in motor skills haha.

And thank u for the info/reply!
 
I know exactly how your feeling. Its so hard to describe however. As the dose increases I tend to find myself in a very dreamy feeling state, relaxed, odly talkative, ane nearly care free.

It doesn't produce euphoria per say, but something comparible.

Higher doses than what your currently at shouldn't effect your motor skills too much more, but be safe if u plan on driving.

Let me know how your next few experiences go, and if you tried any other method of dozing not.mentioned.

One last thing. Don't take it 2 days in a row. Tollerance builds at unhuman speeds. Give like 4 days between
 
Looking back, I felt basically drunk. I even got kinda nauseous. What I think I liked about it most was how I felt when i woke up today. I was pretty carefree at work today, and more talkative. I was quick in my responses too, quicker than normal I feel. I didnt feel high whatsoever, but I felt calmer and happier than normal. But last night I was just drunkish, and I don't think I felt as carefree last night while I was feeling the gaba. The afterglow was what I enjoyed more than the actual "high" of the gaba. Interested to know what higher doses feel like, but kinda wondering if I would get more nauseous.
 
I was gonna do it at a porter robinson(electro house dj) show next weekend, but am now thinking it might not be enjoyable to go along with loud banging music and crazy lights. Might make me hurl?
 
Drunk is the closest thing to describe it too, yet it doesnt alter your motor abilities as much.

I havnt ever experienced nausea, but i know others who have. Did you eat a lot of food with the gabapentin? One common side effects is stomach discomfort with higher doses, but i find that some food takes care of that. Also something like Gas-x is really helpful.. Thats the only side effects ive ever notcied. even at 15000mg, i was a-okay. just slight stomach discomfort. Ie. Growling stomach, slight gas.. nothing serious.

For me the higher the dose the more dream like i feel. I just feel pretty care free, anxiety free, and slightly numb physically. I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling refreshed.

OHH! one thing u might want to be careful about. If you have taken a large dose before bed and you go to sleep fairly messed up, be careful when you get up to pee. On rare occasions peeing at nighttime can cause quick drops in blood pressure and cause one to get nauseous and possibly pass out. Gabapentin can increase the chances of this. Ive experienced this three times in my life. 2 of which no drugs were involved. The 3rd time, i had takin 8000mg of gaba earlier that day.
 
Wow good to know, thanks. No I didnt eat with any dose except for the first dose which I ate with a burger and fries from a fast food place, that coulda been the culprit? Haha I would like to experience the carefreeness.. I get anxious sometimes and didn't really feel much different in that regard during the high, however as I said, I did feel very relaxed today when I woke up and while at work.
 
that definitely could of caused the upset stomach.

The carefree feeling is what i look for in gabapentin. I would wait a few days before trying it again. tolerance is gained incredibly fast. I noticed that taking it two days in a row can yield almost no effects on day 2.

i say give it 5 days or so and try it again earlier in the day. Maybe around 2pm take 900mg followed by another 600mg every 20mins or so until you have reached about 3000-4000mg. That should be a good amount to make you feel anxiety free, and slightly euphoric. Eating food helps with metabolizing gabapentin, as does orange juice and caffeine to a lesser extent.
 
how do all you people manage to handle taking more than 800mg and NOT feel the negative side effects? it makes me real uncomofrtable but buzzed if i take more than 800mg, and alot of people talk about taking 3,000+mg...wow!
 
I take 6-12 grams of Gabapentin in the form of my 400mg capsuls. I love it, and it's great for opiate withdraw. I'm actually on it right now (8300 mg)
 
i get 2400mg rx'd a day and i find taking 900mg at a time, then topping off 300mg every hour after that until i reach my sweet spot to be the best. for me the effect is hard to describe, its like a manic drunk but not exactly. anyways, i have never gotten any hangover effects and have taken up to 7200mg in a day (even at once). naproxen potenciates the absorption by about 25-30% and eating a high fat meal or at least having some food in your belly before dosing is a must! anyways, enjoy your gaba its a novelty that many hate on but its great for nerve pain and can create a chill atmosphere in general..
 
Speaking of Gabapentin, i havnt taken any in about a month. I saw this thread and decided to grab 10g worth. Its been three hours sense dosing 10000mg. for me it always works the exact same way. slow onset of gradual relaxation and inner warmth. followed by a slight intoxicated feeling, like im looking at everything from a distance. I love gabapentin.
 
I like gabentin, it puts me in a better mood, helps me sleep, seems to increase the effects of opiates and benzos as well. It's a pretty good antidepressant for me. As a matter of fact, I need to get my gabentin refilled today or tomorrow, I've been out of it for almost a month. But I'm prescribed 90 300mg capsules a day, I know I have taken at least 20 pills at a time before, with no seriously negative effects.
