Everyone in this thread says it gives him/her noticable cognitive impairment
Hey Red I will use your post for my rant starting and stoned commentary. (Not at you man

)
I usually dislike title of threads like these. although brings up a point that we must define "High". High to me has a lot of meanings. Above, height, even clarity. Example: If a person in a car is 3 miles from their destination buy is hopelessly lost a little height would give clarity. If that person had some height on the road, car, mountain or whatever, being that high helps on looking down from a new perspective. The metaphors work here as far as I am concerned. High always sounds like a good word for humans only to be made dumb by straight laced clueless society making the already good word High into the bad word High. I like to transform the other way.
To me gabapentiniods are very interesting medicines that interact with the body and mind. They were written off only until the last 20 years.
To be clear nothing like a benzo so not the same class.
The cognitive impairment to me is in the same category as say THC, which has always had snooty comments on being dumb and high thrown at it. To me THC brings one so into the moment that short term memories are getting bypassed. It is all consciousness and trying to understand that rather than "frying brain cells". There is an article I am trying to find in N & PD where there was talk of gabapentinoids causing one to become more aware. Psychedelics were know to have that sound about then but laughed out only until the last few year. Now all I see are articles on how one mushroom trip can change you,
The visuals between DMT and gabapentin, that both seem to have separate visuals, play very well together. I have seen them dance together.
I have been prescribed gabapentin since 2016. Using in 3-4 times a month 900-1200 mgs. I use to do more, I feel more sensitive to it. I also have pregabalin but I tend to reach for the gabapentin. Pregabalin gets me perfect at 200-300 mgs, Can't go higher as it get to be too much.
On the medical side lot of people praise the drug in that it helps their issues. I think the stuff is fairly safe.
