Short term low dosage Gabapentin still experiencing significant withdrawal symptoms 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. Let me offer my advice as I have been using gabapentin on and off for over a decade. My method almost always leaves me with a high resembling a cross between a drug that releases dopamine, a mild euphoriant such as mdea, and a tiny dose of phenibut or moderate dose of baclofen. I know it's a high dose but even the low doses cause cognitive side effects. Gabapentin is actually more effective in lower doses so taking less won't prevent side effects. Currently I'm at 200mg in the AM, sometimes 200mg in PM or I'll skip that dose, hardest part is night time because of the sleep problems it causes. You dose it out into timed intervals, and make the doses rather small such as 100mg each time. Take each dose 45 - 60 minutes apart from eachother. Once youve reached a number like say 900 - 2000mg, take one last dose and immediately eat a nice big balanced meal and drink some soda. Regardless of dosing schedule, 900mg is a pretty light dose for most people. You can continue to take 300mg every 30-60 minutes to achieve higher dosages. I find 1000-1800mg similar to a few drinks, fun and manageable. 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. It suggested twice daily dosing could be effective but I can’t remember if this was about Pregabalin or Gabapentin. I do know that for neuropathic pain Gabapentin is prescribed in the UK 2x 300mg 3 times per day so every 8 hours. That may indicate that the Gabapentin does indeed provide up to 8 hours duration of therapeutic effects. My new pain management doc suggested I try the next iteration of Gaba which is Horizant. It’s once per day because it’s long release. I’ve only been on that one week at 300 mg, but I think that dosage is too low as I’m not getting the pain relief I was with Gaba (standard dosage of Horizant for nerve pain is 600 mg. There has to be some connection. But the question still stands, could a moderately low dose of phenibut give me something like a gabapentin high? The last time I did phenibut at 1g I felt horrible, had to smoke DMT to calm it down. But I'd also been staggering gabapentin all evening. To your question as needed, yes some people can and do take it as needed especially for anxiety but usually only at a low dose. I take it for neuropathic pain and have a base amount I have to take to get relief but when I have pain spikes I can increase as needed and then drop back down (900-1200mg a day is my norm). This is under doctors I took it and I had no pain relief so they kept upping the dose to the point I was sleeping almost 20 hours a day. I mean I my life was sleeping, awake take gabapentin, sleep, pee take gabapentin sleep, eat something take gabapentin sleep. It was awful and was told I would “just get used to it” I was near crippled from being in bed for so long. The doctor suggested a very low dose of 100mg to begin with but after reading up on it I'm wondering if I should even bother. I have joint pain (tested negative for RA and lupus) and some insomnia, but I also have lifelong depression and am aware that Gabapentin can contribute to suicidal thoughts and actions. Just not sure what to do here. I've been taking a very low dose of Gaba. 100mg 3x a day. This was prescribed for LSN and is a standard dose to start with. So while I'm taking it as a trial for neuropathy (it's not working) this happens to coincide with me having an extreme flare up of depression and anxiety. If 4500mg Gabapentin alone is a good dose for you, I'd recommend first of all take a single 0.5mg dose of the Ativan to make sure you're not allergic or hypersensitive. Give it 2-3 hours, if you feel fine and wanna go a bit heavier dose another 0.5 of the ativan with 800 or 1600mg gabapentin. My doctor just prescribed me Gabapentin 100mg 3x per day for anxiety. She said she’s had much success with patients who can’t use benzos. And the online reviews are very positive. Has anyone taken it off label for anxiety? If so, what was your optimum dosage? And how long did it take to start working? Thank you! Took Gabapentin for 17 consecutive days at 1 x 300mg capsule at night. Prescribed for lower back neuropathic pain. No impact on pain and didn't like how this med made me feel - constant "spaced out" feeling, unable to focus or concentrate at work or driving and completely flat mood. My neurologist started me on gabapentin, 300 mg 3 times a day. After tracking my experience so I could give valid feedback, he changed the dosage to 300 mg in the a.m. and 300x3 or 900 mg at bedtime. Because I was depressed and suicidal, he added nortryptiline, 25 mg in the morning. Do you think the tapering will cause different withdrawal effects because I’ve always been on a low dose and only once per day, compared to other people who were on a high dose and taking it three days per day? Can gabapentin be used once or twice a day at 100 mg in combination with an SSRI to treat anxiety. Yes you can. I was on a low dose too. 2 times a day 100mg every 12 hours (not recommended for a therapeutic effect) but it still did something and litterly calming my nerves also.
