Soooooooooo i got my script for neurontin. I wanted to experiment and took 4000mg. Feeling AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING. Any one else get this feeling off gabapentin/neurontin? Feels like im in a video game.
well...gabapentin isn't just a clever name...it works primarily off of your GABA receptors, and being a gabaergic drug...will produce effects similar to alcohol or benzos...

This isn't strictly true. It is structurally similar to the neurotransmitter GABA but it's mode of action is not entirely known.. it doesn't appear to bind to GABA-A or GABA-B receptors and it isn't converted to GABA. It has various effects that we know of, such as reducing calcium currents in nerve endings and reducing synapse formation, but it's not clear if this is the primary mechanism.
Gabapentin tolerance rises pretty rapidly, especially if you take high doses.. If you are going to be taking it regularly for therapeutic purposes then I would avoid trying to get high off it too.
