Title: Anyone tried gabapentin for withdrawal?
Post by: Nice on October 21, 2015, 06:42:23 AM
I tried this a few times over the last three months and found it surprisingly effective when utilized in combination with weed. Gives you a mild stimulant buzz not wholly unlike tramadol, but also makes you somewhat inebriated. Lowers inhibitions slightly. Raises mood.

Some people say it doesn't do jack for them, but my first time I tried 1200mg and got off. Pushed it up to 4500mg and never had any ill effects. Try it if you have a bottle lying around.

Even just gabapentin (Neurontin) by itself is amazing for opioid withdrawal. I can be sick as all hell but once the gabapentin kicks in, I actually feel very good and have the energy to get up and do things which, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do while sick. I would say that by itself, gabapentin relieves about 92.5% of my withdrawal symptoms. The only thing it doesn't help very much with for me is diarrhea and physical lethargy.

Combining gabapentin and loperamide makes for an excellent WD combination. Even better is when you can already have the loperamide built up in your system (by atleast 12 hours) before dosing the gabapentin.

The only people I have talked to that didn't have an overwhelmingly positive experience with gabapentin for WD's, we're those that simply didn't take enough. A good starting dosage would be between 1800mg and 3000mg for those without tolerance to gabapentin.

I don't know how we feel about posting dosages on D&U, but with something as benign as gabapentin, I don't see it being a problem.

There's a user on this board named Jega who openly swears that gabapentin is utter garbage and does not a single thing ever, but he has ever only taken 600mg at one time.

I see no problems with that drug and your dosages.

I don't know the LD50 of gabapentin but it must be big number.

Cute. I've been swearing by this drug for years.

Tolerance develops fast. i'm prescribed 3600mg a day (2 600x3 a day) but 12g in a day is not an uncommon dose for me.

I've done around 50 in a day. Don't.

It's not just for withdrawal, it's good on it's own.

So being as I'm fairly sure I'm going to have some level of wds soon and I have a ton of gabapentin stored up (quit taking it when I got to 4000mg a day with no observable relief, titration of course, but still get the script monthly) Any suggestions of where to start, and I don't want to have to do the whole titration again if I can help it. I don't like the stuff. But being my borrower royally screwed me with a new inventive lie, a gurls gotta make it. Gonna try and get some off a fellow cpp tomorrow, but they are very proud like 40 for a 30 proud. So may have to use this method. Nyways, thanks for ideas.

Its been a lifesaver for me, although unlike theSWPK I get no energy at all. It makes me super lazy. And I agree with Jega, its great on its own as well as using for WD. I usually just lay in bed and rent movies and get REALLY into them, like if you smoked weed and got really into something like a game, movie, or a story a friend is telling lol

Its helped me so much during WD. And the sleep, the glorious sleep.

I had good results even with low doses of gabapentin (3-600mg) combined with a couple (small) swallows of DXM and some half doses of clonidine.  I find the combination of the 3 meds covers all the withdrawal bases, and the gabapentin especially keeps you from having to use too more clonidine and getting that sickly, dizzy feeling from too low blood pressure.

It works great when you're tapering too, esp if you have to taper quick (like you used most of your opie meds in the first 3 weeks of the month and have only a fraction of your normal dose to spread out until refill day, or you're waiting to reup on dope and its taking much longer than you thought so you have to stretch out what you have left.

I've been on Neurotin for awhile now its biggest plus imo being that with a high enough dose you can get sleep no matter how bad the WDs.

Yo jega,

Why not use Lyrica instead of all the neurontin? I'd have to take similar doses u take for my diabetic neuropathy, but now I take 300mg of Lyrica 3x a day and the results are way better? Maybe it absorbs better because I put it right into my jejunum, I dunno?
Title: Re: Anyone tried gabapentin for withdrawal?
Post by: kat1lifeleft on November 15, 2015, 02:42:57 PM
I use lyrica also. It's great in smaller doses than the gaba...tolerance in me builds pretty quickly so I don't take it during the month when I have plenty of dope/pills. That way I don't have to use such a large amount to cover wds.

I usually do a quick taper with it when I find my pills/funds running short. It also seems to be a decent potentiator. Works really well with super low doses of methadone!

I love this stuff. Even gives me a fun dizzy feeling. Had an older head (65) tell me I was crazy and the shit was worthless. I just smiled and let him give me all of his script for free instead of continuing to argue about it!

When your sick, give it a try if you have some laying around. Helps me tremendously. Kat

At this point I don't know it's placebo or not to tell u the truth, I think it really helps with the electric shock and burning feeling from the neuropathy and CRPS tho.

Whenever I used to end up without some sort of opiate I always drowned my sorry in xanax and meds to stop the hershey squirts. It feels good to know when ur sick like me I do t have to worry about finding the next dose, it is also a curse tho.

I'm very sure opiates have totally rewired my brain as to the perception of pain, and also had something to do with all the gi problems I have(even tho doctors dobut this).

Post by: Nice on December 20, 2015, 09:46:42 PM
I haven't used dope in over 2 months, came upon gabs again and gave it a whirl. Definitely more than a placebo, and if you mix it with weed and get the timing right, some CRAZY CEVs. I take 3-4.5 grams and that seems to be a good recreational dose. I think this drug gets a lot of shit because most people try 300-600mg, get nothing and write it off as useless. Gotta take more..

Its something that is more fun if you are up and moving around, cuz you get that drunkenness feeling but you don't notice it as much if you are sitting down. Lots of fun.

ODed on dope Wednesday (Narcan) and got a new Vivitrol shot Friday ( got a little sick from it) and coming off crack. Took 8 300 mgs of gabapentin and I feel calmer but not high. Seems to help and definitely isn't hurting.

Wow! I know absolutely nothing about gabapentin. From reading these posts I reckon I'll have to do some investigating!

As for Lyrica- I was prescribed that a while ago- and I know that some people buy that on the black market and say that they like it better than benzos, get more wasted from it compared to benzos- and do so from regular/high amounts!(high-end prescribed amounts!) A few friends(who I trust unreservedly) told me that I should try much higher does than prescribed- I had a go, (with one of these friends) and didn't like the feeling at all! I got a kind of weed paranoia type of feeling from it! (he got nicely wrecked!) Thinking that maybe my experience was a one off/psychological thing- I tried it again(a few times) and got very similar feelings from it every time.

Gabapentin though- I really do know nothing about! It's seemingly in the same family as Pregablin, (Lyrica) which in my case, doesn't seem to mesh very well with me.

I love my gabs
Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I say I like them..they actually help me sleep..I usually dose myself at work an hour before its time to punch out and as soon as I get home I get myself comfy and sleep for a few hours...like some good solid no interruptions sleep
I'm Rx'd 1800mgs/day but usually max out at 2400mgs before they stop working 
My exMIL has been a pharm tech for almost 40yrs...she's heard chatter that they're trying to get gabs moved up on the control chart

For me, Lyrica is a lot stronger than Gabapentin. Lyrica gives me a wacky dizzy, jerky kind of  buzz but in a pleasant way.  Gabapentin is like a milder version of Lyrica.  Both work wonders for WDs and I also find both recreational, esp. if you like disassociates. Which I kind of do.

Post by: Jega on December 27, 2015, 10:28:28 AM
Someone asked why I liked Gabapentin so much over Lyrica. This has been a debated topic for years and it really does come down to personal preference. Pete said it best once, Gabapentin is like "Being drunk without acting like an asshole". I've met plenty of people that swear by Pregabalin and that's fine. But for me? If you offered me 10g of Gaba or 2g of Lyrica, i'd take the Gabapentin all day long. It's just a smoother, chiller, more relaxing drunk for me.

And yes, it absolutely helps in withdrawals!

The last 3 or so days
I have taken
Around 2100mgs of gabapentin
And I have found that I don't wake-up
Dopesick like I normally would

I have taken around 1800mgs
In full-blown wds
And was surprised at how much it helped

The only thing tho
Is that increased back pain
Can be a side effect
And the second time I took it
I only had taken 10mgs of methadone
And my back hurt like a sonofabitch

I watched a stanford video on youtube and the Dr. said its neigh impossible to OD on. Also only a small part in the digestion track breaks it down, a lot gets wasted. Where as lyrica is metabolised in the bigger gut.

Post by: Nice on February 18, 2016, 03:47:04 PM
I've been maintaining with it but I don't have an endless supply, so I've been taking 1500mg a day when I don't have dope and I never get WDs. I smoke on it too but sometimes the effects seem to potentiate each other and I get totally wrecked like drunk. Happened to me at the grocery store the other day and my vision was like pulsating (in, out, in, out).

Thankfully I didn't drive.

Been using this to stave off dopesickness 3-4 days in a row and I'm hitting that tolerance where there is now zero recreational value, it only gets rid of the jonesing.

I've gone up to 3600mg with no rec. effects, even when smoking weed as well. Still, its nice to not be sick..

I had heard about gabapentin for w/d from the 'phile, and I asked my doctor to script me some while I was coming off of methadone. Sad to say, it didn't do shit for me :(

Mostly I wanted it for the rls, which was literally almost driving me to the point of madness. All I got was a sort of pill-hangover.

I've heard lots of great things about it, though. Obviously most here love it, but it didn't do a thing for me. That being said, I also wasn't taking a massive dose of it.  It's odd how everyone reacts differently. I even went on to try ropinerole (sp?), and it didn't do shit, either... Man, I've kicked bth a few times since then, and as brutal as that is, methadone was THE worst.

Again, late to the party (fuck you i just registered).ght getting high at a sober house

Back when I was much more active on the phile, I remember hearing about gaba here and there. But it's only been in the past 2, 2.5 years that I finally realized the miracle that is the gaba detox/maintenence.

I was sick as shit,  having been kicked out for using at my sober house, when I found a purse discarded on the side of the road. All it had worth keeping was one of those Magnum sized prescription bottles of gabapentin. Unfortunately, the 100mg dosage. A friend in rehab swore by their efficacy at keeping WDs at bay, at a dose of about 1800-2400mg. That seemed a little steep to me, so I tried 8. Took FOREVER to kick in, but when it did, I was fucking FINE. Plus the shit made me loopy as hell.

I remember I lucked into some money shortly thereafter, and the shot of dope I did was potentiated massively, as well.

I prefer the shit to subs, to be quite honest. To be fair, though, I hate subs.

IDK why it isn't de rigeuer in all detoxes.

In the two years since, I've made sure to always maintain a healthy script for the low moments. Plus docs will write for it no problem, IME.

Seems like just about everything. RLS and anxiety always worked for me. And I'm the type of guy never gets dick from doctors, my history is so full of rehabs and detoxes and MMT and jail and etc. etc. etc.

Me and my girl both get a standing order for 3x300mg a day. So we've got quite a safety stash. Sometimes I'll curl up with it like Marion at the end of Requiem for a Dream. And then I'm like, why did I just do ass to ass in front of a bunch of screaming creeps for gabapentin?

I never had luck with getting it off label from my shrink, but he will script xanax and Adderall without a second thought. My PM doc suggested it for my nerve pain. Every doc is different so feel him/her out, but its prescribed for nerve pain and Dr's tend to shy away from off label use. At least the ones I've run across.

Before she had a fatal OD my little sister who had a long history of opiate use and a CPP had at least 5 OD's that required paramedics and Narcan to revive her. She wasn't slamming big doses, either. However she WAS taking lots of gabapenitn and other non-narcotics (no benzos) to help with her pain after she moved out of Florida and her new doctors kept yo-yo'ing her around with on again off-again 'scripts for dilaudid and maybe ER morphine.

I was always been convinced that although her death was ruled an accidental overdoe of heroin and fentanyl others and myself did the same dope and didn't have problems. I used to think it was buprenorphne still in my system even after abstaining for a couple days so I could enjoy some dope. And I did a shitload of it.

My thinking now is that SOMETHING prescribed potentiated the dope she shot enough to kill her. Gabapentin is my first thought.

Unless someone knows better, I'd caution anyone taking it not to get high alone until you are sure they aren't dangerous together.

What do you tell the doctors? Nerve pain? Off lable anxiety? I hear it's really easy to get but I still have a fear of denial or being labeled a drug seeker.

I'm pretty sure I'm labeled drug seeker on my medical files, because I was honest with my doctor while going threw withdrawals/PAWS getting clean and needed help. Piece of shit. I didn't even ask for opiates or any narcotics and he labled me.

I've switched doctors since, and they all mention my opiate problem first thing when I mention my back pain. One doctor did script me gabapentin at 300mg once a day. It didn't do anything. And I discarded it away in the stash not thinking anything more of them. After reading posts mentioning to take a few grams to achieve best results, I tried the rest of the bottle. WOOOOO!!!WINNER!!!

So I made an appointment with one of my new doctors I've met only once previously before. He asked me what brings me in for today's visit, I said I wanted more gabapentin because I had run out. He strait up asked me "how much do you want?", I spit out 600mg 3 times a day and got it no questions asked. Just casually said what do I use it for, after submitting the script, I replied back nerve pain.

Another buddy of mine is prescribed gabapentin too, and says the key phrase to getting as much as you want is to say "it helps you smoke less weed". He said they scripted him as much as he wanted after that.

@Mr.pooper Glad you found a good doc and were able to get the Pregablin. Its a godsend for WD's.
I said it earlier, it all depends on the Doc. Some are straight up assholes like the one that labeled you "drug seeker" after asking for help.

I said it earlier, it all depends on the Doc. Some are straight up assholes like the one that labeled you "drug seeker" after asking for help.

So I went to the doctor today because I believe I have bone spurs in my feet. I also wanted to get a higher gabapentin dosage. Doctor came in the room I showed him my foot and he set me up for X-rays and a podiatrist.

I then said I have a burning sensation in my back, before I could even finish talking he started off questioning me in an aggressive manor. Asking me "who are all these doctors ur seeing and they are prescribing you medications?!!?" He mentioned a flexirel sciript one other Doctor I saw like 1 year ago prescribed. He then proceeded to say, "your file says you are addicted to prescription opiods, and you are getting all these medications from other doctors like flexiral!?"...Mother fucking flexirel!!! A god damn shitty muscle relaxer!! Not an opiate! That I never even filled the script but once.

I questioned him about the flexirel and asked to be prescribed flexirel through him because he is my PCP, and I don't see any other doctors. He told me no. I couldn't believe the attitude this grown man was giving me. He mocked me for having back pain because I mentioned the burning in my lower back. He replied with "oh so the top and middle of your back just healed over night and are fine!!?" In a very smug manor. Treating me like I'm Doctor shopping to get scripts. I've never once in the course of my medical history been prescribe opiates, nor have I asked. I've never even asked for a narcotic. Yet I'm treated like a lying junkie by every Doctor I've seen In the past 4 years.

He then said with out me promoting, "let's raise your gabapentin instead of the flexiral". In a very bi-polar way. Got bumped from 180# 300mg pills too #240. He then handed me paper work and it listed all my medical problems and at the said "Problem list" and the very first thing listed wasn't even my back pain stuff. Top line of the list said, "opiate dependence in remission (HCC)"...that's the first time I've ever seen it in writing.

The happy ending is my upped GABA script. Flying high right now on GABA. Fuck you DOC.

@Mr.pooper... God damn. What a fucking dick head doctor. That was frustrating to read. The smug, judgemental bullshit just seems so contradictory to any kind of quality medical care. Really illustrates the point that once you are labeled, that shit doesn't go away. Certainly doesn't get overlooked.

I'm sure you explained how that ended up in your medical record, but I must have missed it. Regardless, I guess the lesson/take away is that being honest with your care provider will fuck you in the long term. What a shitty standard of care. I guess the one good thing is that you actually got exactly what you were hoping for. Ha! The joke is on him. Still, it is really fucked up that being honest with a doctor puts you in that situation. Once you've asked for help, you'll always be harshly judged for it. That is so fucked up. I wish I had something enlightening to add, but I really just had to comment on how frustrating that was, just to read. I'm sure it pissed you off, too. Unbelievable that 8 years of a schooling, however many years as a resident and countless patients later, this is how these fuckers have learned to treat "our kind." Fucking outrageous.

Glad you got the gaba! Ha. If he only knew, he'd probably make a special note that you shouldn't, under any circumstances be prescribed that, either. What an asshole Doctor.

I have never tried Gabapentin for withdrawals.
Some people find it helps a great deal and some don't.
If you can get it and it helps, that is truly a good thing.

I don't recommend mixing Gabapentin with other drugs. My mother-n-law takes started taking it recently and mixed it with several gin & tonics.
She has been drinking heavy for over 40 years and in the 11 years I have known her, I have never seen her weave or fall down, but with a few Gabapentin in her and she was a mess.

I take it for nerve pain and every now and then I take a nice extra large dose. I find it to be a pleasurable high.
I can't get it from my neurologist because I am on methadone and he is a discriminating asshole. He gave me Valium for muscle spasms ( no refills of course) but refuses to give me Gabapentin. Makes no sense. Valium and methadone= potential for overdose. Gabapentin and methadone= much safer combo. 
I get it from my brother who prefers Morphine instead, and he gets it from the VA in a very large amount.

It seems this thread should be combined with, "Is your doctor a moron?" Seems like most are.

I use gabapentin for everything. Sleep. Dope sickness. Foot pain. Boredom. Potentiating what molecules are in my system. I don't encourage anyone abusing gabapentin like I do, but if you have, and it's part of your daily driver, then we could probably see eye to eye over a beer.

Except, it knocked me on my butt when I first started using it. Right? So like anything, if you aren't familiar with it, be cautious, whatever that means to you.

Gabapentin users should be aware that Pregablin is the next generation and is 6 times stronger.

Gabapentin users should be aware that Pregablin is the next generation and is 6 times stronger.

I could def see that being a hot item on the inside. Fun ass drug, and like you said its way stronger than gabapentin, so u only need a few pills to reach a awesome elevated existence.

However im currently marked on my medical files as a junkie. Lyrica is schedule in the US so its much harder for me to get a doctor to give me that paticular drug. Also it is VERY expensive from the pharmacy. Even my gabapentin script cost 300$ a month. lyrica would have been close to $600-$700. NOT worth it at those prices to me,

HAve you tried gabapentin yet?

fun fact: THe big drugs in demand in the US prisons are crystal meth, and suboxone.

i just had 1200 mg of Pregablin snd i haven't touched it for 3 weeks.

it cost me $21 for 56 x 75 mg tablets.

tolerance develops RAPIDLY so within a couple of days of daily use you can't feel it.

that mmeans it is VERY addictive so it must be used sparingly.

i don't have a opiate habit but i assume that it still does the job of easing the withdrawal symptoms.

They do the same job and are gabapentinoids.
