Benzos How long does Gabapentin take to kick in?

Gabapentin, or Neurontin, can take anywhere from 45-120 minutes to kick in. It will usually peak around an hour or two after you start to feel it. Some people will feel the effects for a very long time (6-12 hours) and when higher doses are taken (3200mg's +) a hangover or "after-glow" may be experienced the next day. At low doses it will reduce nerve pain and induce a slight numbing feeling similar to that of dissociative drugs such as ketamine or dextrothemorphan, though not as intense. At higher doses it induces mild to moderate euphoria, stimulation similar to a high dose of caffeine or very low dose amphetamines, laughter, a feeling of vertigo or loss of balance, and lastly it can impair your depth perception and sight in general although this affect is usually mild.
