Benzos gabapentin staggering and how to ingest?

[Caden517]

I am prescribed 100mg gabapentin 3 times a day, I got about 90 of 'em, going to see the doc in 3 weeks and probably get a higher dosage or hopefully switched to lyrica or some other script. what is the best way to take these? I usually take 2 or 3 at a time and wait for about 45-1hr 30 min, then take another 2 or 3. Should I be just popping the pills, or parachuting them?

Personally, I would simply take the pills - no need to parachute. I take 800mg TID and never found it to be recreational. You can safely take upwards of 1,000mg at a time, though some people are very sensitive to it so go slow.

300-900 mgs every 30-45 minutes with a piece of fat. Peanut butter, something fatty, whatever, and it'll work very well in terms of bioavailability

Good advice. I hadn't thought of using fat!

This question is asked commonly.
Your tolerance and body chemistry plays a role.

Your body is only able to process so much Gabapentin at a time.

For medical purposes 300 mg* staggered every 45 min to 1 hour, until the correct dosages are reached.

* I personally start low to get the most out of each dose. 600 mg + will work, but I feel that the effects are not that much more pronounced.

As usual, your mileage may vary.

There is also a Gabapentin mega thread on here.

Just pop them as-is.

If your personal choice of dosage is working, no need to take more. Really, Gabapentin isn't very recreational anyway...but I don't think benzos are either (for me personally).

Your stagger timing is fine.
