Ok this might seem like a silly question but.....is it possible to have minor withdrawals from taking 25 400 mg of Neurontin spread out over 7 days time. I'm just wondering if that could be the reason that the following week I'm exhausted, agitated, no motivation, and restless
 
no, its seriously NOT POSSIBLE!

I take a month supply over the course of a week or so EVERY MONTH and NEVER ONCE have I gone through any type of withdrawal. I've also known many who went through the same thing I did, or you are speaking of, and never had a problem.

7 days is far from enough days to feel anything WD's from neurotin/gaba.

you may just feel burnt out from taking it 7 days in a row and then going back down to "normal" but def. no withdrawal.
 
That's funny dude above me I do the exact same thing with my script and I've never had wd's or even rebound anxiety
 
Thankyou both of you. I am out now for the next 10 days. And I think I agree with you that initial week felt awesome. Stimulating yet sedated yet clear headed. A very good overall feeling and then going back to normal (which I didn't like being normal to begin with) so yeah I think that's the part that's sucking so bad right now. I hear that dependency and tolerance onsets occur very quickly. Any one know. That kinda worries me a little cause I really enjoyed that prior weeks feeling
 
Tolerance does build very fast with gabapentin / lyrica, but I've noticed that it disappears just as quickly. A week off, or less, should be enough to restore all the positive effects.

Many recreational users notice that a day on, two off will prevent any such tolerance build up.

Thankyou I'll try it that way when I get some more.

Would it be better to stagger 3 400mg doses every 45 minutes over 2 hours and 15 minutes or just take the 1200 mg all at once
 
I had some awful wd's from Gabapentin but i was taking about 3200mg's a day for years. The WD's are very painful and they last a long ass time. It felt more painful then the time i was in benzo WD after running out when i was a few thousand miles away from my doctor and was coming off 6mg's of Clonazepam a day and had to drop down to taking maybe 1mg a day if i was lucky. That sucked and was very dangerous but was not as painful as Gabapentin WD which felt like a combination of benzo and opiate withdrawal

However using Gabapentin for a week or even a month is not going to cause any significant WD's. It seems that only people who have been on it a long time and usually at high doses experience bad withdrawal symptoms coming off Gabapentin.
