How long does it take gabapentin to kick in by staggering. Granted I have a tolerance so I may not feel anything at all. I'm just wondering because I staggered at six every fifteen minutes four hundred mg and then shot up to 1600 mg every thirty minutes. I ate some greasy breakfast burritos and I still feel nothing. I think I burnt this drug out.
 
How much have you taken already? It doesn't take long to kick in at all.
 
It sounds like you do not know what you are doing.
Whatever your doing sounds like a wast.
On a fresh day, pick an hour, say 12:00 pm. Take one capsule, for example 300mg with a lite snack if you wish.
Wait at least 45 minutes, but an hour is better.
At 1:00pm take another capsule or tablet.
Wait an hour, repeat.
Keep repeating 1 cap each hour.
Now if you do 300mg over 4 hours you have a total of 1200mg that has been fully absorbed. You should feel 1200mg by 4 hours. You will feel 1200mg this way much better than taking it all at once.
 
17g's? And you don't feel anything? Haha I don't think that what you took was actually gabapentin
 
It's gabapentin. I got it from a pharmacy. Than my roommate takes gabapentin he gets from a pharmacy. I get 120 800mg. So far my tolerance is so high since I take it everyday for BiPolar disorder and my roommates never takes all his supply so it's always in my face. So I'm going to just cut back for a week or two and see if I can yield different results.
 
17g's? Thats fucking stupid. You need to get yourself down below 3600mg at the highest and even thats not smart. The withdrawal from that much gabapentin is a gaurenteed seizure.
 
Sonic, I would stick with taking it how the doctor prescribed. I think you mentioned before you were at 800 mg four times a day, then lowered to three times a day. You don't want to take crazy amounts of gabapentin because like Larc said, you'll be in for a hellish withdrawal.
 
Please keep the conversation civil guys. I don't want to have to edit any more posts.
 
IME, maybe an hour, and then a couple of hours to peak?
It's hard to infer precisely the optimal dosing schedule (as the experiments demonstrating active uptake of gabapentin to be rate-limited are hard to generalize to living digestive systems).

I have found good luck taking 300 mg every 20 minutes, ideally on top of a small, fatty meal / snack, until you get almost where you want. However, it's easy to hit a sort of 'ceiling'; the difference between a total of 1.5 gm. and a zillion gm. can sometimes be less than one would think.
