Gabapentin: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

[[Subjective effects]] include mild to moderate [[anxiety suppression]], [[pain relief]], and [[muscle relaxation]]. Its analgesic and anxiolytic effects provide gabapentin with some recreational potential in a manner that can be compared to a mild [[benzodiazepine]]. However, these recreational effects are reported to diminish quickly with repeated usage and are typically reported by those who do not have a tolerance to this compound.

Gabapentin is considered to have low abuse potential compared to most recreational depressants. However, chronic use can lead to physical dependence. Additionally, there is a risk of ~~lethal~~ overdose when it is combined with other [[depressants]] (a ~~relatively~~ common practice considering its weak effects). ~~As a result, it~~ is highly advised to use [[harm reduction practices]] if using this substance.
