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. 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. careful tho benzos can be dangerous and super addictive. but they are perfect for gabapentin withdrawal cuz they work completely differently (the name gabapentin is a bit of a misnomer). so while you detox gabapentin you feel perfectly fine and 3-4 days of benzos will not cause dependency. As with many different medications, there is no "approved" way to taper gabapentin. Most recommendations come from various studies and the personal experiences of physicians and their patients. Having said that, there are some general guidelines out there that I can recommend. I took Gabapentin for a month and I took a 300 mg tablet. Just a suggestion, but perhaps you can check with your doctor and see if he/she could prescribe that dosage. Perhaps that would be an easier way to taper down on the amount? It might be worth a try. If using gabapentin for other indications, it is recommended to taper gabapentin for at least one week. Other sources recommend to taper more slowly, employing a 25% dose reduction every week. Whatever method you employ, it is prudent to be conservative in your dose reduction and go slowly. 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. I’m at 200 or less a day now and I’m dropping maybe 10mg every day or two - that’s only because I have a limited amount left. You want to taper as gradually and as low a as possible before you jump. Anyone have insights or experiences to offer similar to this? 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? Thanks! Prescribing information and the American Addiction Centers recommend tapering gabapentin over a minimum of one week. Using a slow taper by reducing the daily dose at a rate of 300 mg every 4 days may be particularly useful for elderly patients or other patients vulnerable to withdrawal symptoms. Case reports have shown that gabapentin withdrawal often lasts for 5 to 10 days, but some people have taken as long as 18 weeks to completely taper off gabapentin while managing withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms may start within 12 hours to 7 days after stopping gabapentin and may be severe. We’re recommended the following taper schedule: 7 days 600mg 7 days 300mg 7 days 150mg. That seems pretty aggressive, based off reading others experiences. What taper schedule worked best for you? What taper schedule did not work for you? I’ve seen magnesium suggested to help alleviate symptoms, but unsure how much, what kind works the best? Gabapentin may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and dizziness. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and seek medical attention if experiencing serious side effects or changes in mood or behavior. Gabapentin is prescribed by healthcare professionals and should only be taken under medical supervision. Gabapentin can lead to suicidal thoughts and since I’ve stopped taking it I haven’t had them. Definitely reach out to your doctor to come up with a tapering off plan if you haven’t already! My worst side effects came from the tapering off period so please reach out for help if anything gets really bad. It will get better! I've been using gabapentin now since January, and used the opportunity to taper kratom (11 years worth of kratom - 27gpd). I'm down to 3.5g of kratom, and I'm taking 900mg of gabapentin. I also wouldn't recommend doing both. Stay where you're at with gabapentin while you taper kratom. A proper kratom taper takes patience and a long time. 😬 try the taper, and I'll be honest, I took 6mg of alprazolam to get through it, but I already am dependent on it (prescribed for years for GAD), and it has no side effects that are bad for me, so do what you have to do, especially if wds are worse on gabapentin.

Analgesic Tapering Guidelines for adult patients with persistent pain patients taking strong opioids and/or gabapentinoids. Prescribing of gabapentinoids for neuropathic pain should be reviewed in line with the criteria set out in NICE4 and should be gradually discontinued if ineffective. I was on it already when I prescribed it. I only take my gabapentin at night so there was plenty of distance between my doses. That said, take my anecdotal report should be taken with a grain of salt. People handle NAC just fine. Search r/supplements and you find all the good and bad about this supplement. Does this supplement help tapering For anyone who has used gabapentin, how did you taper off? I’ve been on it for 1.5 years at 1200 mg a day, and am looking to taper off completely, or at least to 600 or 300 mg a day Not in a rush to taper.
