Just got Gabapentin (300 mg)

[d50416]

hi, first time poster here at BlueLight, been getting a lot of different percriptions from chemotherapy, seems like an appropriate website to get the info i need on the highs..

just wanted to know what you're guy's thoughts were on this drug. I was just prescribed it for "minor pain"
i used to take oxycodone.. now the oxy i had were only 5mg tablets, and it used to take me 3 pills at once to actually feel something. Now these Gaba's are BIG mother fuckers, (300mg capsules) but ive read on here that people take about 1 - 2g of this, just to feel the high

but for a first time user, how much should i take? and what should be expected?

Hard to say, try 900mg. People are prescribed more than 3 grams and some abuse like 10g

The high is different from anything else I've tried, except lyrica, which is basically just a stronger version. In theory they should be sedating, but they seem to act more like a stimulant. They give me tons of motivation, but aren't tweaky at all. In fact they're relaxing. The only downside is that tolerance builds very quickly, and at high doses you get this weird sorta neurontin stupid. You know how sometimes a name is on the tip of your tongue but you can't remember it? Really bad about that (while you're high), but none of the not remembering things later that benzos give.

ive smoked my fair share of weed that it happens regardless but you think that 600 - 900 should be good enough for a first time?

900 sounds about right. You can always do more if it isn't.

im nervous about it.... ill start with 600, move up if necessary - really just wanted to get an estimate haha

I don't know if 600mg will do anything, remember your prescribed a low dose. But avoiding tolerance is a good thing. Just don't expect much.

i find these potentiate alcohol and opiates, but that's just a personal opinion. they give me energy, concentration, and a little giddy-ness. they are great, and I wouldn't worry about taking too much. I have taken 3+ grams over the course of a day with no tolerance to it and felt fine.

and if you start to develop a tolerance to them, just tell your doctor about it. I just had an appointment with my doctor today after being on 900mg a day for 2 weeks. He just wrote me another script for an additional 150, which says 1500mg a day.

Doesn't get you high, but it certainly does something =]

Yes, they seem to increase the high from opiates
