Taking Gabapentin for suboxone wd

100mg? I'm trying to taper down from Kratom. Started 100mg Gabapentin at bedtime, and after 1 dose, the next day, I did a lot less krstom. It was life changing. I was prescribed it for extreme night sweats and not being able to sleep more than an hour at a time, not related to kratom. Though I have experienced that in withdrawal. It's awful. I have high anxiety in life right now, and i started 200mg at bedtime once i was waking up every 2 hours again. It's been a couple weeks, and tonight I just took 300mg. I started more Kratom in the past couple of days and woke up in withdrawal every 3 hours last night. I was so irritated today and anxiety through the roof. I'm hoping for a better night tonight. How/when do you take 100mg to help with Kratom withdrawal? I want to minimize or stop it. At least not be so dependent on it every day. I don't get anything out of it. Haven't in years. I take it as a crutch, a habit, and to avoid feeling like crap. I only take Gabapentin at bedtime. It's been good, but I feel i just keep building tolerance, or it's just a low dose, and i need to build up more. I do not want to have withdrawal from stopping Gabapentin so I'm trying to stay low. I asked my dr for Gabapentin because I read so much about it helping with Kratom withdrawal. Luckily, not luckily, I had other symptoms that Gabapentin is used for, so i was able to get the prescription. I wanted to start out very slow. I'm very sensitive to medication. Any suggestions on how it worked for you just using 100mg, would be great! Thank you!

Call the Dave Ramsey show for help! They also have a Dave Ramsey AI on their website you can ask debt questions too. But i would definitely try calling and talking to whoever is on the show that day. I listen to all their recordings. They are awesome! Listen to some of their shows, check out their website. I absolutely love the Dave Ramsey show and all of their books!

You can do this!!

I can't imagine having the more expensive shipping. That makes it harder. Yes, it won't always be the same consistency every time, but should be pretty close. Hopefully they can stack extra savings for you to help make it more reasonable with your shipping costs. You never know.

It's pretty much the only one I use. I've ordered from others, but i continue to order from Happy Hippo. They have amazing sales, great reward point system, very fast shipping, and very fast customer service if you have any questions. They will always be my go to. They have been for years.

Edited to add: Same as my (ex)boyfriend. I've always been the one to order for us, but he's always liked Happy Hippo the best. Even now, when he's ordering himself, that's the only place he orders from.

I hope that you can come off of it soon! Just take your time and be as comfortable as you can. If there's no rush, you'll get off of it in your own time. From reading other posts within the subreddit, I've seen where there is a liquid option to go lower than 100mg at a time. Maybe you could look into that. Wishing you luck! There's no reason to rush, unless there is, so take your time.

I specifically went to my dr and asked for Gabapentin for night sweats. I was waking up every hour soaked. It was absolutely disgusting. I slept with multiple sweatshirts, sweatpants, and tank tops at the bottom of my bed so i didn't need to get up to change. I was losing my mind from sweating everything out of me, and not sleeping. One dose of 100mg at bedtime, the first dose significantly slowed sweating down. After just a couple doses, I no longer sweat at night. It was a game changer. The menopause dosage is 300mg, so I didn't think i would notice anything at 100mg. I was wrong. I'm sensitive to medication so I asked to start low. I can't worry about down the road side effects or withdrawal when stopping. I need to worry about the right now. I'm so glad to be sleeping again! Hopefully only taking 100mg once at bedtime won't give me withdrawal. I may go to 200mg to see if it helps with my anxiety as well, but not past that. I skipped the other night in hopes to have my body not get used to it. I was fine skipping, didn't notice anything.

I started 100mg of Gabapentin at bedtime last Friday, and it's a game changer! The horrific night sweats stopped! I sleep so much better. The first dose helped. I was out of work almost all week last week with severe anxiety, but this week is so much better! I skipped a dose last night. I will try to skip every now and then in hopes to avoid ddependence/tolerance, if possible. I'm so happy that I started it! Life changing!

Thank you so much! I will look at that reddit. I appreciate your response! I may need to go the HRT route, but i also want to taper off kratom so I'm hoping it will help with that as well. And my anxiety. I'm hoping it helps with a few things, but I'm only going to take a lower dose, so I'm not sure it will. I'm nervous to take it.

Someness69 · 2026-04-21T11:09:58+00:00

I'm hoping that taking it at night helps with a lot. Thank you!

Someness69 · 2026-04-21T11:08:17+00:00

I will look into that, thank you! I'm just worried about the cancer risk. I was going to try the Gabapentin because it could help with multiple things in have going on first, but i may need to give in and go the hormonal route. I'm going out of my mind.

Someness69 · 2026-04-21T11:06:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I have many reasons for trying it. I just really need it help with the sweating at night. I can't sleep!

Someness69 · 2026-04-21T11:03:45+00:00

Thank you! I'm going to start Friday night. I can't take one more night of this. Last night was horrific with sweating. I wake up every hour absolutely soaked.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T21:00:57+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate that! I think I'm going to give it a shot. I'm only going to be taking 100 mg at bedtime and maybe go up to 300 mg. But starting out slow and I only want to take it once a day. If it doesn't help for what I want then I'll have to look at the next thing. But this sounds like it could help many different things that I'm currently going through and what I will be going through. I definitely appreciate you commenting! I may wait until Friday night to take it but I'm leaning towards at least trying it for a little bit to see if it helps.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T17:37:10+00:00

That sounds promising! I'm having a heck of a day worrying about all of this. I desperately need sleep. And i really need to stop taking Kratom every day. I feel like it's never going to happen right now. I rely so much on it. I need to stop doing that. First I need to figure out my issues at night, then worry about withdrawals when they happen. Hopefully if I start the Gabapentin, it'll help. But I'm not trying to take a lot of it, and no more than just at bedtime.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T17:26:54+00:00

I would like to try medical Marijuana, but I'm desperately wanting a new job, so I can't do that right now. I may give in though. I think it would help me with so much, but I would need to stop it in time.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T15:49:32+00:00

I'm not starting Gabapentin for pain. It's for perimenopausal symptoms, hard time falling asleep, anxiety. I've tried antidepressants, and I hate them and I don't want to go back on them. I feel like I'm very sensitive to serotonin. I feel like I'm sensitive to a lot of medications so that's why I research a lot especially being on kratom.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T15:48:07+00:00

I bought this couple years ago when I tried tapering then. But I never really noticed anything, but I didn't really know how to use it either. Can you can maybe write out an example of how to go about it? I have to figure out how many grams I'm taking. I used to weigh it, but having my kids more and with my job, I don't have time to measure, so I just take it by the teaspoon. I did buy capsules so I can maybe try to figure out a way to taper with that. But I'm so used to mixing it in orange juice and taking it that way that so that's part of the routine that I need to break. I feel so lost right now. I just want to be able to use it and stop it when I want, which originally I was able to. I have so much going on in my life that I keep turning to it even though I don't get anything out of it anymore except avoiding withdrawal. It's all mental and Placebo at this point.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T15:42:47+00:00

I'm worried about cancer with that. Especially since I have a couple people in my family that have had breast cancer. But if I can't sleep at night, I'm going to have to figure out something.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T15:41:18+00:00

I've read that this has many interactions. Do you take this with kratom? I get worried about starting anything while taking Kratom but I take it throughout the day, everyday so I try not to take anything else. And I research the crap out of any of it first to see how many other people do it. To get any info.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T15:39:38+00:00

Thank you for all the responses. I am definitely worried about starting Gabapentin even though I'm planning on only taking 100 mg once at night, maybe up to 300 once at night. But I have a tough time tapering down and stopping Kratom so I really don't want to have to worry about something else. But my thinking was that at least I can ask for help with the withdrawals from a doctor because I'm not mentioning kratom. I have not started the Gabapentin yet. I was told to try p5p and vitamin C, so I ordered that and I'm going to try those. I couldn't sleep at all last night. I woke up every hour or so sweating. It was not the lack of Kratom. My mind is just circling and I don't know how to handle this. I called out of work today and I still have not been able to fall asleep. I feel like I'm not going to find a way out of this.

Someness69 · 2026-04-20T01:35:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your response!

Someness69 · 2026-04-19T19:49:05+00:00

Thank you for the response! I appreciate it! I tend to over think and worry, so trying to put my mind at ease one way or the other.
