Several, but in short there are many studies supporting the use of gabapentin, ssris/snris, marijuana, and atypical antipsychotics in pain perception disorders. I’ve always found it helpful to ask patients with chronic pain if they notice a significant decrease in their pain after they’ve had a few beers or smoked a joint. I wanted to do a brief write-up of my story and past being addicted to abusing gabapentin in large amounts for the past year. It's a drug i've been 16 votes, 52 comments. true. I too am coming off of gabapentin. I was first prescribed 100 mg; then 300 mg; then 600 mg & 900 mg, but decreased to 300 mg again only after a few months of being in 900 mg. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs.

If it is an addiction, chances are you have an addictive personality, in return you'll eventually become addicted to Gabapentin as well. I recommend taking a low dose of gabapentin and if it doesn't help within an hour or so, take another and so on. Gabapentin is really in a class of its own.. I'd call it a disbenzopiate haha. It has the warmth and optimism that you get from opiates with a nice anxiolytic effect on par with Xanax. That's great and all but the real reason I use Gabapentin is for the dissociative effects. It feels very much like MXE if you've ever done that. When taken as prescribed for an intended medical condition, gabapentin is well-tolerated and not considered addictive. However, addiction can occur or worsen when misused illicitly, at higher doses, or combined with opioids. Does anyone have a story about addiction to gabapentin? I have become dependent/lowkey addicted to my gabapentin. I began abusing it after learning how it can make you feel when you use it like that. I loved the feeling it produced and I quickly made it a daily habit so long as i had it. You are just placing massive strain on your kidneys, which are solely responsible for eliminating gabapentin. They essentially pee out Neurontin whole, and it's a bit like peeing out a molecule shaped like fiberglass. It causes intense oxidation strain and can cause nephritis. People have even died from Neurontin. At the end of October 2021, I began taking Gabapentin 300 mg once a day. This was as the doctor had prescribed, so I did not think anything of it. The medication at this low dosage did not seem to be helping me, so after two months, I decided to up my dose to 300 mg twice a day after speaking with my new neurologist. i have been in gabapentin for a little over one month. the VA started me at 300 tid, then 400, then 600, and now i am at 800 tid. i have definitely gained some fat but i so stay very active and eat consciously. my pain and anxiety are definitely lower and my sleep has greatly improved. i was prescribed gabapentin to stay off alcohol and phenibut I've been on a moderate dose of gabapentin in the past and I can't fathom finding myself addicted to it! Like another person commented, it seemed to have the effect of a sugar pill. Maybe made me slightly sleepy and weird feeling in the morning but that's it. Makes me wonder how much / in what form people are taking that leads them to addiction. However, gabapentin shares characteristics of medications associated with misuse and addiction, in that it produces a withdrawal syndrome and certain psychoactive effects. which is close enough.

Gabapentin can be used in elderly patients, but caution should be exercised due to age-related changes in renal function. A lower starting dose may be necessary to prevent overdose and accumulation of the drug in the body. Monitoring of kidney function is recommended. Gabapentin use in pediatric patients Honestly, for the entire time I took gabapentin I didn't notice a single thing. All my other pills, I could tell when they were working, but gabapentin could've been a sugar pill for all I knew. Same story for when I came off it. I believe we tapered a bit, but then I just stopped taking it and never noticed a difference.
