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 ✨
Synthetic opioids like tramadol work the best in terms of pain relief for me, but the side effects are pretty huge, so I only use them during really bad pain episodes. For more minor common pain where the neuropathic component isn't that bad, I take a NSAID called celecoxib.
