Anyone Take Gabapentin?
    #26468924 - 02/04/20 05:34 PM (3 years, 11 months ago)

Gabapentin was once my favorite thing to take, but has became to destroy my life for these past three months and make me completely bed bound while the hospital won't admit me or help in anyway. Now I have to take it just to face each day and not have seizures, but I only have a small amount left and I'm not able to get any. As soon as I run out I'll be back to the hospital with seizures. I cant taper off of it yet because I've never had enough to start tapering from on a monthly basis. Does any one have any suggestions for me? I am deathly afraid of tomorrow and even tonight .

Are the seizures due to the withdrawal or are you using it to treat a seizure disorder?

Both. The gabapentin gave me a seizure disorder, any time I come down from a single pill its like instantly quitting them cold turkey, I've never had anything so horrible happen to me in my life. People have said quitting heroin is 100x easier but no one believes it because its "just gabapentin" I had no idea they could even cause this hell

I'm lucky to even be typing rn.

I was never addicted to them but now I am forced to be. Rehab centers don't understand that, and again they all dick around me like nothing is happening.

Ive seen 15+ doctors about what to do, if theirs any other alternitve anything and nope every time they say fuck off go live with your seizures not our problem

If you're looking to get enough to taper you could go to a small private practice neurologist or orthopedist, say you have occipital neuralgia and you were living in canada and your doc had you cycling lyrica and neurontin, and it was all that helped. Or just order them off the dark web and have them in 4 days or less

Could also check yourself into a detox, if for some reason they don't take gabapentin addicts (that seems weird) just pretend it's booze and at least you'll get loaded up with benzo's after the first seizure, and at that point you tell them you're also coming off gabapentin and they may even do a taper there

Idk, that's all I can really think of. Good luck man

yes, I use gabapentin 600mg / day.  it takes awhile to actually work, and my nerves still burn, that is why they put me on it: for nerve pain.

Yeah I thought of both those first things you said minus the Canada story. Problem is they have all my info already and know what's been going on, even if I went to a small practice. I don't think I could get off easy with that one. As far as the dark web I don't have a sufficient PC in which I would prefer to use to access, 4 days is too far away and I have no money of any type despite all my best efforts.

I've called detox centers in the past, some of them do take gaba addicts but again, mostly didn't even believe my story or basically told me I was fucked, and needed a specific referral 'from a primary care doctor. Well I got a primary care doctor and she was the only one that ever agreed what I was going through was from gaba, yet again gave me nothing as a substitute and only referred me to talk to a psych over the phone, whom never called

Thanks for the wishes and advice, good advice if I were capable of those things. Michigan can fucking suck one

I'm a bit confused.

You're using gabapentin to treat seizures, but the stuff is also what gave you seizures in the first place?...?

So what were you originally prescribed the gabapentin for or how did you originally acquire it?

I don't know if I have some sort of tolerance to the shit er what, but I've done stupid high doses and barely felt a thing... I tried staggering my doses and all that, but really, I think all I got at any point was like a very, very light benzo(ish) buzz.. And I mean I could almost call it placebo it was so subtle.

Considering the price of a subscription, that shit is fucking EXPENSIVE if you don't have a medical plan or insurance or whatever, far too pricey for any recreational value imho.. Maybe I have to take more, I dunno, but I mean I would take like 1500+mgs and feel almost nothing. :shrug:

I used to buy a couple for a soup in county and snort them. They had an effect if I snorted enough of it but it took a lot and it was not a "smooth experience" so to speak.

I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Yeah I'm poretty sure if you stop taking a seizure medication you get seizeres PS gaba is the same thing as alcohol which is why you get seizures like a drinker if you quit'it
I used to take it all the time in the past
I'm that rare percentage that speeds from it and feels great
It effects me a lot differently than anyone

Its fucked you guys this shit is fucked. I never believed it in my life but now I'm living it
I was at the hospital again
They won't admit me because they deny everything about it

Weird

I've been taking gabapentin on and off for a decade. Anywhere from 300 to 3600mg a day at various times. I've stopped cold Turkey or reduced my dosage many times. I notice a change in mood but to me it is nowhere close to wd from other things. Even kratom is worse

Honestly dude I think you're psyching yourself out. The hospital definitely thinks you're a drug seeker, I'll tell you that much. And the effect of gabapentin on the brain is totally different from that of alcohol. The fact that it has gaba in the name is a misnomer, it does not affect gaba in any direct way in the brain

1500mg isnt really a high dose. The doses prescribed have a massive range. Some people take as like as 300mg a day and some as much as 3600mg a day. The abuse doses are really more like 3-8 grams. It is never like a benzo no matter how much you take, but it can produce a blissed out effect at high doses, which is causing health care workers to stigmatize it because there are some people out there drug seeking it. It sucks, the med is great in my opinion. It is a lot safer than many alternatives. Provides long term anxiety relief in a way benzos cannot do bc of diminishing returns

What were you originally prescribed gabapentin for?

Just wondering how you got into this situation and why you can't get another refill if you're using this medication to prevent seizures? Can you get prescribed some other anticonvulsant medication...?...but you also said that the gabapentin is what gave you this seizure disorder in the first place, so that makes me think you were prescribed this medication for something other than seizures....?...

I'm just not really following or understanding how you got into this situation or what you were originally given the medication for.
