Alternatingly, gabapentin either works great and has barely noticeable withdrawal, or a hellish acid reflux suffering tablet with the worst withdrawal in the world and I am once again a victim of the opioid crisis.

My doctor suggested gabapentin when I asked for an anxiety med, cool idea or no? It’s an off-label use so I might be a victim again. My impression so far is that it feels like a very lightweight version of loprazolam, goofy and relaxed. I’m still stimming ofc but I’m also calmly vibing, and I can still feel my emotions which is nice. Pls tell me how over it is ✨

      Np. There’s only two drugs that really target the same receptors (pregabilin is that other). And both bypass the liver, so don’t interfere with other drug metabolism.

      Melatonin, weed, and gabapentin tend to irritate my tinitus. And mixing it with pain killers can cause unpleasant numbing. Mixing with alcohol I tend to have to nap.

      But nothing dangerouse in my experience and I’ve abused my doses and been pretty reckless with mixing tbh.
