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 started on gabapentin a few years back and it made me feel permanently drunk, I switched to pregabalin which just made me a bit tired but I know some people enjoy the dopey feeling they get.
