Gabapentin please describe

I love gabapentin. Taken very sparingly it can create a great mood. (3 times a month, 1500 mgs staggered) And I am creative, at least with music. Took some tonight after a shit week and I feel great. That is why I am posting. I still get an afterglow the next day too. Very glad I decided to not take daily. I does help with my shoulder pain and I take much less ibuprofen.

Gabapentinoids became a valid class of drugs. Years ago people would have laughed.
I just started taking it recently, 900mg max couple timesa week ...

noticed it really helps my sports injuries from H.S. baseball

Never would have guessed it would help as much
but I was able to cut out the naproxen

so far
so good
 
Sertraline =ssri
Loxapine = atypical anti-psychotic
Lorazepam = benzo
Zopiclone = z drugs
Lemborexant = orexin receptor antagonists also for sleep
Clonidine = is an α2A-adrenergic receptor used to treat high blood pressure and helps with wds
PRN Quetiapine = atypical anti-psychotics


Those are the meds you describing taking and that's a handful and what are you actually in reality to achieve by taking all these meds.
Well, the goal is to try and sleep more than 4 hours without waking up as well as managing daytime anxiety

I also have a history of severe antipsychotic withdrawal from haloperidol that stopped only because I started loxapine

Most of those meds are taken at night for sleep at 10pm and like I said I start getting rebound effects around 1-2pm next day
 
@Conky


There are 3 meds that should help with sleep, even guarantee it.

As for the anxiety part, lorazepam should do the trick but with this specific one using it only when needed is best.

Not sure that all of them are needed but then again don't know your history but I would go back to the doc and reevaluate the situation and try work out a more scheduled approach for less or other meds.

Just my personal opinion
 
So I have come to a conclusion about Gabapentin that it absolutely creates a very rapid tolerance and that therefore it is best taken no more frequently than every 10 days. Preferably on an empty stomach and in a good state of mind with no stressors occurring that will harsh your buzz. Preferably reclining comfortably. That is all.
 
No benefits from it at all, medicinal or recreational. I hate the stuff. Does nothing for me, just gets me super dizzy...like bouncing off walls dizzy. Seriously. I tried different doses too, from 100 to 900.
