It took a while to kick in, perhaps 2 hours. But once it did, the experience was remarkable. I felt a sort of focused, hypomanic state. I spent a lot of time just browsing the internet and getting small but noticeable kicks of euphoria when I found what I was looking for. Many other testimonials say they felt more sociable, and I think I would have been too, but I didn't interact with anyone.
To give you an idea of the mindset, at the height of the plateau, I remembered that I needed to do the dishes. I thought to myself, 'I AM GOING TO DO THE F*** OUT OF THESE DISHES.' I washed them as I normally would, but felt more satisfaction from it than I normally would.
It wasn't entirely positive.
It wasn't entirely positive.
The comedown was pretty gentle. I just started to notice that I wasn't intensely focused on my actions anymore. There were no noticeable aftereffects.
Overall Gabapentin is an interesting experience, something like a combination of alcohol and Adderall without the intoxicating effects. I may take Gabapentin again if I'm going to a party, just to see how I socialize while on it. I don't plan on using it regularly, or even occasionally. It was a novel experience but not useful for enriching my life.
