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. I was on Gabapentin for two years - which resulted in weight gain, digestive issues, and horrible stomach bloating. Has anyone had any luck with the bloating going away after being off of the gabapentin? Gabapentin seems to only affect me if I take like 1200mg or more. I’m prescribed 600mg a day but I don’t take them everyday so I have 2 whole prescriptions of the 300mg capsules plus a few extra. 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. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Yes, gabapentin can cause horrible gases in your stomach. It is, in fact, the most commonly reported side-effect and can range from mild discomfort to severe abdominal pain. Several surveys have revealed that some people have experienced gas pain so severe that they thought it was a kidney-related pain. Addressing your stress and anxiety levels will help the most ( gabapentin ended up working for me as I was hypersensitive to ssris and actually gabapentin also is a neuromodulator which helped calm my nervous system). I also bought a somatic movement course from the somatic movement center online and it has been incredibly helpful. but gabapentin has a better safety profile than many of the alternatives (ie NSAIDs for chronic pain) A number of NSAIDs have been approved for dogs. Gabapentin not been studied. It appears safe, but it’s still new. Thalidomide appeared safe too. Posted by u/ExerciseZestyclose11 - 5 votes and 4 comments I have one cat who gets gabapentin for car rides, but so far, it's only been the 20-minute rides to and from the vet. It makes the trip so much easier for her. Without gabapentin she stress yowls the whole trip, pants, drools like a neopolitian mastiff, and stress poops. The most common gabapentin (Neurontin) side effects are dizziness and drowsiness. This may affect your ability to drive or perform other activities. Other gabapentin side effects include edema (fluid buildup), weight gain, and eye problems, but these aren’t as common. 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. Gabapentin is helpful to some people with specific pain problems as many in the comments are suggesting. However if you are getting TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to treat depression and/or anxiety keep in mind gabapentin can actually reduce the efficacy of the treatment. Because the gas has to pass through and it wounds up lessening the smell and it more mixes in the smell of the dryer sheets. Because the gas is hot it also wounds up working out for the dryer sheets because they require heat. It's not a long-term fixed but it definitely could help out. I did try it once and it does actually work somewhat. Gabapentin should work within hours of taking it. And in the case of you not knowing yet what the issue is, gabapentin is also used to help relieve anxiety in animals. It is considered safe for long term use which is why it is one of the most common pain relievers prescribed (in humans, dogs, cats, etc) 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. I just started taking gabapentin 300mg 3x daily for anxiety alongside citalopram 20mg. This morning I had nearly liquid stool, without any gut aches, although as the day progresses im experiencing more intestinal discomfort and gas, with smaller amounts of diarrhea. I have been on Gabapentin for a month and am experiencing horrible gas, both in volume and smell. I am taking it for sciatic nerve relief. No relief from gas, however. I tapered off gabapentin two weeks ago but still feel stoned and have no get up n go. Lots of gas still as well. Is this normal and how long will it take to be lucid and energetic again? Some side effects of gabapentin may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects.
