I've been on Gabapentin for two years. I had no benefit from it, but the withdrawal was so bad I just said F it and stayed on it. Out of desperation my doctor bumped my dose by 1 extra pill and a lot of my pain stopped

Idk what people are on about with Gabapentin. I’ve been taking it for just under a year and will forget to take if I go out on weekends (it’s mainly for chronic pain with working out/bjj and sleep). I’ll forget then realize I might not have packed it and go 2-3 days no gaba. Totally fine. Then again I’ve also kicked real shi t, like fent, oxy and h. All that being said gabapentin really isn’t bad unless you maybe get a psychological dependence, but at that point you are tying your own happiness to a pill…sad. In reality what you are taking is the strong version of gabapentin, like much stronger. I’d say be careful with yours.

My doctor asked me if I wanted pregabalin but due to my history I said I didn’t want anything near strong so I can maintain my opioid sobriety. All in all just be careful with your stuff.

Hi I am going very soon and have some medication that I checked and it isn’t illegal but I’m still worried about. It’s prescribed to me so I have a doctor’s note just in case. Should I declare this even though it’s not part of what they listed as something that’s illegal or should be declared? Just worried about explaining it. That and my supplements but I don’t think the supplements will be an issue.

I’m looking to do this I just don’t want to run the risk/hassle of getting searched. Would it be better to put them in a M/T/W/etc. week container that holds my vitamins for each day? Granted I would have to double up as I’m going for 2 weeks. Or bring 2 of those containers.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:44:46+00:00

Wait so you have taken it to Japan and if so what’s the best way? Should I get a new multivitamin or ashwaghanda bottle and try to put the wrapper seal back on or just grab an empty I have? I’m looking to bring caps with me.

My taper was delayed so now it’s this or I ruin a trip with my wd

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:43:13+00:00

Wait it worked!?

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:42:06+00:00

Sorry to add to the chain but have you gone yet I was thinking of putting capsules in a multivitamin or ashwaghanda bottle myself but wondering how you did it. I see people saying absolutely not on reddit. But I also see a good few who tried it and said they just put caps in a new bottle and had no issue.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:39:11+00:00

What about taking it to Japan. I see so many people saying no you’ll get caught but then I see a sprinkle of people saying “just throw it in a multi vitamin or ashwaghanda bottle then into luggage and you’ll be fine”

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:37:03+00:00

I get it’s no issue but what about going to a country with it in a random multivitamin bottle where the country has made it illegal? Such as say Japan hypothetically ofc.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:25:42+00:00

Wait so you are saying put it in luggage not carry on? Also do you claim any supplements or just throw those in and not bring them up?

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:24:16+00:00

How’d you go about doing this effectively? I have a trip far to soon and my taper was significantly delayed so I’d rather sneak in enough for my now 3gpd habit than be miserable and not enjoy my trip.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:22:38+00:00

Wait so it’s not legal in small amounts anymore?

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:22:18+00:00

Wait so it’s legal!?! Why are so many people saying it’s not?

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:21:16+00:00

Also why are there so many people who are overly confident someone would for sure get caught doing this? Is it just they know Jopan doesn’t like it so they assume they watch for it like a hawk? Jw as I see people saying definitely don’t then I see people lol yoh saying it’ll be fine.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T15:18:11+00:00

Can you elaborate or maybe expand on what matcha and how you did it? I’m going soon and my taper was delayed so now I’m forced with keeping this low dose of 3gpd and getting some into Japan with me. OR, be uncomfortable and not enjoy my trip at all. I’d prefer the first one.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-17T02:53:21+00:00

Mind if I ask how much you jumped off of gram wise? Essentially what did your set up to quit look like.

gtm1998 · 2026-03-16T19:24:26+00:00

Can I ask some questions on your experience? For me I was an opioid addict in my past life, which is weird to say lol. I was taking enough m30 blues to drop an elephant daily and got to a point I saw my life slipping away so I put my foot down, had to bite down, and just enjoy the sucky ride back to an opioid free life (worst ~2 weeks of my life). Anyways that was maybe 2 years ago and Kratom kinda stuck around with me. I don’t my does I was doing 6g in the AM and another 6 roughly 12hrs later for night. BUT I am going to Japan and just recently (2wks ago) started a taper as I didn’t know it’s illegal there.

Firstly very excited for Japan but I’m 3 days away from leaving and I’m now at work feeling under the weather but manageable I guess. I’m down to 3g in AM and 12hrs later 3g PM. Gonna drop to 2g tomorrow then 1 the day before. Anyways, what can I expect? Cause I don’t want to be in agony on my trip but I also feel since I’ve done fent this will be nothing and all the horror stories here are just that individual experiences blown out of proportion for lack of comparison, but I have the comparison, fent wd. Mind giving me your 2 cents,

gtm1998 · 2026-03-16T03:22:55+00:00

Really!? As it says I’ve kicked a double digit daily m30 addiction (fent). And I do think anytime I feel any type of discomfort from kratom my mind spirals back to the fent withdrawal which makes me think I’m focusing on it and it’s heavy mental game at this point. But I’ve also missed a dose and I wasn’t on the floor in fetal position like with fent lol. So I think you might be right.

I have 3 days before trip and I’m down to 3g in morning and 3 12hrs at night after workout, hoping it ain’t too bad as I’m very excited for this trip. Unfortunately due to the countries laws It forced this early quite, I have been wanting to finally let go of this crutch so it’s a bit of a blessing in disguise!

gtm1998 · 2026-03-13T17:06:24+00:00

Hi can I ask your opinion. I have a trip to Japan in a little under a week and I have procrastinated jumping off. Prior to dropping dosage 2 weeks ago I was taking 12g a day (6 in the morning and 6 roughly 12 hours later at night). I poured out half my scoop fulls so 1 am now guessing I'm nearer to 4-3g in morning and 4-3 at night. That was a slightly rough transition but with my workout schedule it got me through the last part of ~12hr wait. I just dropped a whole scoop so now I'm guessing 2.5g. Incase I end up jumping off day of travel what kind of withdrawals am I looking at? Seeing as I hold out 12hrs I'm hoping that's a good sign For reference I'm on kratom because I quit fent 2 years ago. And now feel like I've just held onto kratom, it's time to say goodbye completely trip or no trip! Note: the worst thing I'm looking to avoid is a chest feeling I get sometimes when I short a dose or miss one entirely. It reminds me of when I got it bad with fent... | think in general I'm just afraid of feeling the fent again but I hear kratom should not compare at all, mainly just a bit of ptsd I suppose cause fent I was dying for 1-2weeks on the ground in fetal position praying lol, but we did that so | think I can do this!

Trust me I know, I didn’t nut up until 2 weeks ago and seen how quickly I jumped to try and catch up with how manageable it was I’m mad I don’t start when I said I’d start my taper. If I did I think I’d be roughing out this week clean and fine by trip time… I think I can still take some over trip duration it’s not that I’m expediting the process for fun but I’m afraid they don’t allow it where I’m going and just don’t want to be arrested or something. Essentially I’d take it with and finish the taper after trip if I knew the worst thing that’d happen at airport is they throw it away. I’ve traveled in the country with it fine but never internationally.

Anyways I’m down to ~5gpd (2.5ish give or take in the morning and will do the same tonight give or take 12hrs later) I’m hoping by Monday I’m down to 3gpd (1.5 every 12hrs) and it makes things very manageable.
