How to stagger gabapentin doses for maximum effect?

[StarryEyedLaughing]

I have 1500mg of gabapentin (Neurontin), separated into five doses of 300mg each. I want to use these doses as efficiently as possible. I have a few questions:

1) What intervals should I take the doses in? I know staggering greatly increases absorption. Will 30 minutes work?
2) How large should each dose be? I have emptied the capsules so that I can take less than 300mg at a time if necessary.
3) I've heard that a full stomach increases the BA of gabapentin. Should I eat before each dose, or just once before the initial dose?
4) Another thing I've heard is that having an acidic stomach can help with absorption of this particular chemical. Is this true? If so, will soda work?
5) Does anyone know of any gabapentin potentiators?

Any other information regarding the absorption of gabapentin would be great. I normally wouldn't ask so many questions, but this is the last of my "supply" for the time being, so I want to get the most "bang for my buck," so to speak. Thanks in advance.

take 150-300mgs every 45 mins with a snack.... i usually need around 1g so it takes me about 3-4hours to start feeling the effects

I've heard that soda works to potentiate things. Also if you have some tramadol you can have a great night. That's a fun thing to mix it with. I would take like 900-1200 mgs of gabapentin and then stagger 50mg doses of tramadols over the 2-3 hours until you get to 200-400mg depending on your tolerance.

I started dosing at around 11:40. It is now almost 2:30 and I have parachuted 1500mg of gabapentin, emptied from capsules.
Approximate dosing times: 11:40/12:45/1:30/2:20.
At 1:30, I took a double dose, so this explains why there are only four times listed.
I have not eaten today.

Anyway, shouldn't I be feeling a buzz by now? I feel sober as anything right now.

maybe you should, smoke a little weed too...some people love gabapentin and some hate it. it's a weird drug.

Welcome to bluelight!

Thank you!

And I apologize for the redundant threads; I didn't mean for them to be the same thing, but it ended up that way anyway. My bad.

^Good idea.

I had an incredible experience with gabapentin by taking 1.1g over a 2-3 hour timespan. I could say it was an unexpected euphoria despite this drug's normally weak effects.
