Hey guys my drug of choice was kratom for 2 years heavily 35 50 grams a day and ive recently been given gabapentin for withdrawl and i started abuseing it to feel better 3000mg a day since the 30th of nov and i got a depenance on tht now cause high doses im in a out patient facility called flacra as of 2 days ago waiting for my eval and doctor visit im zack. im in a crap storm when i come off gaba at these high doses and kratom withdrawl is still here after a week i relapsed once sadly..... its horrid so many doctors say gabapentin dosent have a withdrawl but it does and its a scary one.....

Have you talked to the doctor who prescribed the gabapentin? I'd ask them for help in getting off it.
