Alcohol withdrawal IS a life threatening situation, so getting tips from people on reddit, makes me feel a bit uneasy. Let someone else take over and you focus on healing, not how many mgs of Gabapentin you should be taking. Just experienced 4 days of gabapentin withdrawal. It was hell. My doc was on holiday and I forgot to get my prescribtion, so I just taught why not, try to leave it for a few days. If you are dramatically reducing your alcohol at once and ALSO starting gabapentin and ALSO naltrexone you may have sleep difficulties as some have commented. My advice is to start with 25mg of naltrexone and single 300mg pill of gabapentin at bed. I was prescribed this as well for withdrawal effects. Seems to work well for keeping anxiety at bay (and seizures from WD), but after only a month your body becomes dependent on it. Do not use it for a long time, coming off of it is awful and you don’t need that after going through hell with alcohol withdrawals. 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. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. 1200mg of Gabapentin 3x's a day is sometimes the max for daily use for anxiety/alcohol withdrawal. You can also ask your dr. For Rx for Clonidine patches for alcohol withdrawal. Clonidine pills help too but for withdrawal I've seen docs prescribe it along with Gabapentin (since you already have it in possession). Its safe and non-addicting. GABAGoodness is devoted to the discussion of all GABAergics, Gabapentnoids and VDCC inhibitors such as Pregabalin, Gabapentin, Phenibut, Carisoprodol, GHB, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, and more! This is a great place to ask general or recreational questions, get harm reduction advice, or share your experience with withdrawal syndromes. It happens to some degree with many drugs, but is very pronounced in GABA drug withdrawal. That’s why alcohol withdrawal can become dangerous to the point that a few drinks can kill a long time addict with bad enough kindling cause it can send them into DTs. What I can tell it seems like gabapentin is relatively safe when used in conjunction with large amounts of alcohol, but it also has little value as a treatment for AUD. Additionally, the cardiac risk is concerning enough to prevent me from routinely prescribing gabapentin for AUD. It causes intense oxidation strain and can cause nephritis. People have even died from Neurontin. Also you can see from this FDA guide that tolerance tends to sky rocket pretty high fast too. Yes, Neurontin works wonders for withdrawal of all sorts- including opes, benzos, and alcohol withdrawal. I used Gabapentin to help get through alcohol withdrawal. I used it for 4 days with the following doses. 1800,1800, 900 and 300. I am off today and feel horrible. Could I get withdrawal from such a short course? I am also on day 5 without alcohol. I don't know if it is just the alcohol withdrawal, GABA withdrawal or a combination of both. Find out what you need to know about gabapentin for alcohol withdrawal and discover the pros, cons, risks, and benefits, and how it may affect health. Cut off the booze first, definitely. Gabapentin is prescribed to aid against alcohol withdrawal anxiety, while the alcohol hangovers (withdrawals) create the anxiety to begin with. More importantly, talk to a doctor and be completely honest about your habit, they will set you on the right track to stop. I used Gabapentin to help get through alcohol withdrawal. I used it for 4 days with the following doses. Day 1 1800, Day 2 1800, Day 3 900 and 300 the morning of day 4 (yesterday). My dose is two 600mg tablets a day for a total of 1200mg in a 24-hour period. I was prescribed Gabapentin for alcoholism first, anxiety second. This medication is a God send. After drinking 10-15 alcohol drinks a day for 40 years, within a week I quit and had no side effects from withdrawal - plus the anxiety went away. I do NOT crave alcohol Gabapentin has been shown to be safe and effective for mild alcohol withdrawal but is not appropriate as mono-therapy for severe withdrawal owing to risk of seizures. During early abstinence, gabapentin may improve sleep, cravings, and mood—factors associated with relapse. Gabapentin has an average rating of 9.0 out of 10 from a total of 66 reviews for the off-label treatment of Alcohol Withdrawal. 89% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 2% reported a negative experience. Gabapentin is efficacious for the treatment of acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms 29,30 and also provides short-term relapse prevention after medicated alcohol detoxification, 31 perhaps by an effect on sleep normalization. 32,33 Post hoc analysis has shown effectiveness of treatment with gabapentin, in combination with flumazenil 34 or Gabapentin is effective at reducing drinking among people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and strong withdrawal symptoms, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. Gabapentin is effective for mild to moderate withdrawals and reduces total alcohol consumption (it makes alcohol feel stronger when drinking). Mild to moderate withdrawals = sleep disturbances and shakes. Hi! I have been taking Gabapentin for a year.
