Gabapentinoids Thank Fuckeddy Fuck for Gabapentin!

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

I get my meds on Friday morning and ran out ~30 hours ago.
I managed to get 16 x 30mg Codeine Phosphate from a relative (I told them a 75%-truth, that I'd ran out early and was really suffering, I just didn't say the reason I'd run out was abuse). I plan to take half of them tomorrow and half on Wednesday. Which isn't really enough to keep me out of withdrawal, but should be enough to take away the worst of it.
But that leaves today and Thursday...
I have Gabapentin and started taking it (staggered, apart from an initial dose of 1200mg) and have taken a total of 2100mg so far and I am so fucking grateful for this drug! I'm still clammy and shitting through the eye of a needle, but I feel more relaxed both physically and mentally. For me, the ANXIETY is actually the worst part of withdrawal so glad the Gabapentin helps with that.

Gabapentin is a lifesaver man. Either it or Lyrica should be in every withdrawal toolkit.

I was originally prescribed it for back pain, I didn't notice any improvement with pain reduction, but it does help to calm my RLS.

Why was Pregablin not an option for you?

Gabapentin is the most underrated drug there is

Gabapentin 300mg capsules are great.....3 of them taken 30/40min apart....but Pregabalin (Lyrica) is even better 300-450mg on an empty stomach. Same MOA and effects but more potent and higher oral bioavailibility

Clonidine 0.1mg tablets you can get at any walkin clinic. Not a controlled substance and even better for anxiety and general restlessness
