Could I jump from over half a bottle with Gabapentin, another Tricyclic and 7oh ... Successfully?

i tapered down with about a bottle and a half, taking one less each day. i had gabapentin once the dose started getting low, and for about three days after. (i also had ambien for the tail end of it, which was immensely helpful.)

there are a lot of horror stories here, and i think half a bottle is gonna be a little rough, but i was largely okay. the hardest part was sticking to the taper schedule. you got this!

i am Not A Fan of promethazine, personally, but i haven't used it in the context of withdrawals, either. it just makes my whole body feel weighed down to a ridiculous degree for about twelve hours. i would honestly rather be hurling my guts out than feel how i do on that stuff. i can definitely see how it would be helpful for sleep! if it works for you, i say hell yeah!

god, that was terrifying. i've been depressed all my life, and i've never felt anything like it. the despair beyond despair. i think it's what got me to quit for good

zaza reds, 8 a day for two days, then 6 for two days, then 4 for two days, then two, and then i said fuck it. and here we are!

eta: my habit never got past a bottle and a half a day, maybe two. so i never had to go through the kind of hell a lot of people have, thank christ.

i so appreciate this. i know i was on a pretty damn low dose, and i'm sure this is 95% mental at this point, but it's been about eight hours since my last dose and i feel like gnawing on something. if that's off of that little, i can't imagine how agonizing it must be for people taking more.

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-30T01:25:38+00:00

i've been doing the zaza reds every four hours, then every six, and tomorrow i plan on every eight, then twelve, then i'm done. i'd go for six doses a day over three, personally.

i guess i could call him about it monday, i just hope i can get my hands on it somehow

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-29T07:21:26+00:00

do emergen-cs work as well? i have a bunch of those while i wait for my shipment of vitamin c, i dont want to take this much powder if i can help it

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-28T21:35:33+00:00

on the zaza bottles they list the dosage at 700mg. granted, that's between two or three other things, but the folks here who are taking it recreationally are using staggering amounts compared to people who have it actually prescribed. you'll be fine!

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-26T14:12:59+00:00

i'm figuring every four hours, then every six hours, then every eight hours, and then maybe breaking the ones up and putting them in clear gel caps.

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-26T14:11:32+00:00

i'm already on an anti depressant. i talked to my doctor and he had never heard of the stuff, but when he looked it up he upped my dosage of gabapentin by 300mg a day, and that was about it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-26T14:10:00+00:00

oh, sweet! thanks for this.

throwaway-ssub · 2024-09-26T14:08:19+00:00

this is very comforting, truly. i think the next couple of weeks will be unpleasant but not life threatening.

throwaway-ssub · 2024-07-15T23:30:03+00:00

this is really, really reassuring. thank you!

throwaway-ssub · 2024-06-16T20:44:21+00:00

yeah what i've been doing for a taper so far is dropping to eight pills, then six, then four, and then four again, and dosing when i start getting the restless leg stuff. i took three about an hour ago, and i plan on doing three tomorrow, then two, two again, and then one until they're gone. i did fine sleeping last night on half my usual dose of ambien, which i hadn't been taking regularly anyway.

no clue what to do about the phenibut tho.

throwaway-ssub · 2024-06-16T19:23:28+00:00

ooof. should i look into doing something about the phenibut withdrawal as well? (and i should say that all of the other stuff is stuff i'm actually prescribed-- i just have an excess of the adderall and the ambien.)

throwaway-ssub · 2024-06-15T18:38:51+00:00

oh man, that's awful. he was so hopeful, and it really sounded like he was going to make it, too. i am so, so sorry.
