I have a shit ton of gabapentin, I got 100 of 300mg ones and I was wondering what is the high like and how much to get high my first time? And should I take it with anything else like opiates or benzos? I have hydrocodone and valium I can go with. Any answers help thanks!
 
I still have a bunch leftover. I took them for opiate withdrawal. They work with Gaba but are not as addictive as benzos. I didn't get much of a high from them, but did feel a little drunk. There are some withdrawals though (not as bad as Lyrica). It wouldn't seem so as Gabapentin is not as strong as scheduled drugs, but when stopped after a few weeks it's noticeable.

There is a Lyrica/Gapapentin thread on BL somewhere with lots of answers.

btw:
It could be a potentiator for opiates, somewhat, but I wouldn't suggest it.
Also, want to add that when it was prescribed to me for nerve pain long ago, it just put me to sleep basically

Don't recommend taking benzos with the gabapentin as it can cause dysphoric effects but opiates can be taken with it. I Used to get gabapentin prescribed with my oxycodone to help reduce the need for narcotics but it never got me high in any way and just barely took the edge off my pain. Some do get a slight high but most don't find it any way recreational. I would start with 600 mgs to see how it is but wouldn't go too high with your doses trying to achieve a better "high" because after a certain point your body stops absorbing the drug and excretes it from your body unchanged. For most 3000-4000mgs is the ceiling point for the drug.
 
Actually I would say that most people do find it euphoric their first few times taking it, it's just that it starts to loose its magic pretty quick which is why it isn't as popular as a recreational drug. A quick look at erowid will show you that people have had some pretty awesome times on gabapentin.

I think 600 mg would be a tease for you and would only lessen the magic your next time actually taking a legit dose. At 600mg you wouldn't appreciate what gabapentin has to offer. With something like gabapentin, I don't see why there would be a need for a "tester" dose like 600mg. Even at like 2400 mg, the effects are relatively subtle. I used to be huge into gabapentin, I guess I responded better to it than most. My standard dose would be 3000 mg. When I first started I would take like 900 mg and it was okay but once I upped it to 1800mg + it got way better.

If you actually wan't to use it recreationaly and have a full blown gabapentin trip, 1800 mg should be enough with no tolerance. Read some of the reports on erowid to get a feel for dosages and what to expect. If you're just looking to supplement other drugs with it you wouldn't need as much. I would highly recommend trying gabapentin on its own though, especially your first few times. For me it was like a cross between a benzo, weed, coke, and mdma, just a bit more subtle, obviously, but still powerful aand euphoric. It's the perfect drug for when you want to feel GOOD in whatever it is you may be doing, but don't want to resort to harder drugs.

Alcohol and benzos muddy the trip and you end up getting more sloshed than euphoric. I would say go with 2400 mg, but no need to jack up your tolerance right off the bat, 1800 is a good amount. Keep in mind, the biggest side effect or recreational doses is a "stoning" effect where your eyes get low and glazed over, and your mental capacity plummits. Vocabulary recall is a bitch and you might sound a bit fucked up in front of others, so don't take more than 600 before work or perhaps family functions. I would consider it much less risky than recreational benzo doses though in that even in high doses you still pretty much stay in control for the most part, just a bit uninhibited, like drinking a few beers. Gabapentin is not something you can really have a bad trip or od on so no need to really stress about taking supratherapeutic doses. Like what was already said, you can only absorb 4 - 5 grams at most

The Doc.-"Don't recommend taking benzos with the gabapentin as it can cause dysphoric effects but opiates can be taken with it".....well that fucking sucks. Is that just your experience? Because i have been taking benzos with gabas under the impression they amplify each others effects. But now that you say that there are times when im on 2mg of klonopin and take 1200mg of gaba and feel like nothing is fun and i just want to go to sleep....hmmmmm
 
I don't agree with that, benzos are the one thing that I crave most when I'm on gabapentin as they synergize so great, even moreso than opiates... but we're all different. First time I've heard the term dysphoria associated with that combo.
 
I thought klonopin muted some of the euphoric effects of gabapentin but other benzos might work better
 
I've never used it alone but with tramadol ,ritalin and a fast and slow acting benzo.....and booze it made a difference ,I ONLY TOOK 5 I think cause they are pricey even patent ,with out the booze in just home chill mode they work also.

Double check but I think they are anti seizure.

Tried the new [here] patent pregablin ,popped 5 and I was totally nutted....ummm google translate....fuckedup......nicely ,defo defo wouldn't want to be at a party though.

Again it wasn't standalone but only with 200mg trammy which and 2mg clona which usually I wouldn't feel and I just nodded until I nodded no more and woke up laying sideways on the bed which is a first [at 40y.o] so the peak came up sudden for me to not get in bed ready.

better

Mine was with 2/3 -1mg loraz aswell as the tramadol ,not sure on the gaba half-life but tramadol is so long it would of mattered.

Try your Benzo DOC with pregablin for a vastly superior upgrade ,you will love it.

Yeah, I would have to agree on this one. One of the things about rec. doses of lyrica is that it can make you a bit "manic", a low dose of a benzo really synergizes well with lyrica in that it doesn't overpower the lyrica high by any means as it might with the weaker high of gabapentin, just smooths you out a bit. Perfect combo. Add some kratom too the mix or a low dose of a stronger opiate and it gets even better. I've gotten extremely euphoric off this mix. Be careful tho with stronger opiates, I saw a buddy nod off and go unresponsive off 600 mg lyrica and smoking like .2 of some decent black.
