Gabapentin please describe

Pregabalin is waaay stronger than gabapentin - but not in a good way, imo. I don’t understand the appeal at all. Only useful for knocking myself out during withdrawal.

Okay, interesting. Yeah I knew pregab was more potent but not that it was also stronger. I liked it but tolerance growth is insane and even when used as prescribed it just worked for a couple of days.
 
Sometimes it does nothing at all, unless of course you take a massive dose. When it does do something it will effect my equilibrium and make my eye sight wonky. It’s an unusual med to say the least. Tolerance builds extremely fast. I do use it for nerve pain but do not take daily. I have to skip days in between doses for it to be effective for me. Good luck with it.
 
there is no better drug for opiate withdrawal than gabapentin. The shit saved my life.

That occurred to me. Gabapentin saved my fucking life.

For me I love both

Prescribed 100x 400mg caps of Gabapentin a month

And on the side also use pregabalin

Gabapentin I don't use often only days I know I'm gonna suffer.

Pregabalin is more for recreational for days, dose dependent to either have. Slight high or full body overload.

To OP, if taken as prescribed you will feel some of the effects mentioned but lightly and will dissipate quickly too

For me there are 3 plateaus to gabapentinoids. Level 1 is what you get when prescribed and slowly titrated upwards to the target dosage: Nothing recreational, maybe slight sedation. Level 2 is a moderately high dosage without tolerance and feels like being drunk. Level 3 is the full experience and - as far as I remember from 10+ years ago - feels like a stimulating dissociative, maybe a bit GHB-ish.

I never took gabapentin though, only pregabalin, but they are supposed to be fairly similar. Tolerance is an absolute bitch, if you take the same dosage like yesterday you'll experience diminished returns already. Might be just me though, for some the therapeutic effects seem to/must last.

This is it. For me level 1 is 300-1200mg, level 2 is 1200-2400, and level 3 is 2400-3600. Never gone higher than 3,600 mg, it's quite dissociative at that stage. Feels like you're in a dream.
 
I was prescribed for neuropathy and I couldn't read a book or follow a podcast the entire time, then I got to enjoy tapering off of it for 6 months. It fucking sucks.

In my experience, all the GABAergics build tolerance quickly, more than any drug class.

I would say I like it. I would say it’s a better medicine than it is a recreational drug tho.

Pleasure wise, I was ecstatic when it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn’t used an opiate in like three days. But is the drug itself pleasurable. I wouldn’t say it is. But is it sublime? I would say it’s sublime. It’s something that I would gladly take again if I needed it.

Feeling normal is a prize in and Of itself. If you sre taking drugs to feel normal then it’d absolutely a pleasure to take gabapentin.

Sorry one other thing, what is the dose that you find makes it sublime?
 
The hunger from it is savage, I ate 500grams of pasta in a single night!!!

The dose where you suddenly realize you’re not dopesick 1800mg.

But I was never able to take that much when I wasn’t dopesick. About 900 taken in 300mg increments felt pretty great tho.

It’s a very subtle drug. The sense of wellbeing is really nice.
 
Ok so i got questions. I got prescribed gabby about a week ago. First day I took like 2700mg at once n was fried. Next day I took somewhere in the 3000 range. Same thing. Fried. Then I took a 2 day break and today decided to stagger the doses cuz everyone keeps saying it won't work right if u dnt. So at like 1030 am I took 900mg. Than at like 1130 I took another 900 mg. Then at about 1215 I took 1800mg. It's now 347 n I don't feel much if anything. And I took 1.5mg of Klonopin on top of it. I just want to know how to get the desired effects without wasting all my meds.

Tolerance exists for
Gabapentin too. Youre
Probably
Gonna need to cool it for a couple
Of weeks and then try again in 300 mg increments with fat or soda.

It’s subtle tho. It’s not a dome rock experience

Maybe fried is just what you feel when you take it
 
I'm a high anxiety person. I don't want to trip or have anything weird happen. I just want to have a nice mellow relaxing experience. I took a 100 mg capsule a few days ago and noticed nothing. Today I will take two capsules. I'm already a little scared to double my dose but I will do it.
 
100mg of gabapentin is probably not even an active dose you can measure doses in grams. If you're not looking for anything heavy then don't just munch a fistful of tablets but I used buy boxes of 100x 300mg and eat a box in the space of a few days.

I would usually binge for a week or so then be an absolute mess for 2 days once I ran out.
 
OK, so to follow up, the 100 mg did nothing. Then about a week ago, I tried 200 mg; that did absolutely nothing. Tonight I tried 300 mg and after about 45 minutes I started feeling a little bit different. It was relaxing, but it was also a little anxiety producing because I wondered what was happening but now It’s been another 20 minutes and I think it’s kind of nice. I think I’ll have something to eat and go to sleep.
