what does gabapentin feel like? Confident, happy & motivated. Also can make you sleepy at night. If you take it as prescribed, you won't really feel it. You will feel relief from nerve pain and will probably feel less anxious. If you abuse it, it's a bit like speed, but more "natural." Gabapentin may make you feel a little drowsy, dizzy, or clumsy when you first start taking it. You may feel like your thinking is slower. These are common side effects of gabapentin, but they usually get better as your body adjusts to the medication. One last thing to keep in mind. A very common side effect of high dose gabapentin is peripheral edema, meaning the feet and hands swell up, sometimes noticeably. Long term use of large quantities will make your hands look like balloons, and will make your shoes feel tight. For me (I take around 800mg per day, mostly starting at night) it feels like a slight euphoria, I can be a bit more mindful and it slows my mind and emotions down just enough for me to be more aware of them. 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. If they are the 600 mg ones you will feel good but if they are the 300 mg capsules you prob won’t feel shit for some reason the capsules you don’t feel much idk what it is but you can take 10 300 mg capsules an feel nothing n 5 600 mg pills n be wavy as f**k We do NOT promote drug use; - Accept, for better and or worse, that licit & illicit drug use is part of our world and choose to work to minimize its harmful effects rather than simply ignore or condemn them; - Utilize evidence-based, feasible, and cost-effective practices to prevent and reduce harm; - Call for the non-judgmental, non-coercive provision of services and resources to people who Some of the most significant effects I've noticed are music euphoria, the desire to socialize and talk a lot, enhanced sense of touch (different textures feel really nice, like carpet for example, and moving around feels good), a strong sense of well-being and calmness, and at high doses I sometimes get mild visuals. I'm struggling with the withdrawal symptoms from effexor, and my NP prescribed gabapentin to help with the anxiety and burning nerves pain. Not once did she say that I would have to go through all of this again when stopping gabapentin. Like it or not, it's one of our more benign medications that's considered a first-line option for neuropathic pain. Anything can be abused - we still have people trying to smoke banana peels - but that doesn't mean it's a bad option. Low-dose gabapentin has been a lifesaver for a lot of my patients, especially if they're relatively medication Patient Forums for Gabapentin. Part of the Brain and nerves category. Symptom, treatment and advice from community members 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. Once winter came, however, the improvement was negated, so the GP doubled that dose, but that gave me the most horrendous spells of vertigo and dizziness - it wasn't too much later I developed and was dx with full-blown POTS. I don't know whether that had anything to do with gabapentin, but I do know the feeling was disturbingly similar. I’m taking gabapentin 600 twice a day for sciatica nerve pain, severe nerve pain (from shingles), hip dislocation and slipping and leg pain. I’ve been on it for 3 weeks now, some days I feel like I’m drunk, others I don’t notice and the pain is tolerable With gabapentin, I only stopped overthinking which helped me focus and keep working. I felt a little more energetic but not physically speaking, just in my brain, if that makes sense. No heavy feeling on my head. I took one this morning. Just 300 mg. I thought it wasn't going to do anything on me but I'm no longer worried and anxious. I think the cognitive problems they bring on too makes a decent argument to use sparingly, for me anyway. Cant remember shit, feel really dumb when i do them a lot. I really like the highs from them, meaningful and interesting but the cost is high, no free lunch it seems On 800mg 3 times a day for my anxiety but then again its been 6 years on gaba. Was on 600 3 times a day for nearly 2 years. Honestly drs feel like the safety profile of gabapentin is safe even in exuberant amounts going into recreational use that they prescribe it with little caution. Theres few side effects, works as well as most anti depressants. For me, it’s an all encompassing feeling of happiness and motivation to get up and do creative things like write and record music so definitely a creativity boost as well. And yes, you literally cannot stop talking, about anything and everything, non stop love me some gabapentin! Gabapentin to me has three stages of the high, first stage feels like an amphetamine, halfway through the high it feels like an opiate, last stage before you comedown feels like a benzo but that is just me it really is different for everyone, don’t get addicted because withdrawals are seizure worthy.
