Gabapentin 200-300mg works remarkably well for me but if taken too often I notice it develops tolerance and almost feels like it dulls me out at that point. After a week break I started again and I was amazed at how social I became.That's how it has worked for me. Very quick effect within 30 mins I believe? I become a lot more social and helps with social anxiety etc. Also seems to help for drive and motivation to an extent.
Because of Gaba I rekindled an old friendship with a girl whom I haven't spoken to in a long time. Now after some days it doesn't have as much effect.
Could be great for people on an as-needed basis. Like if someone is depressed and unsure about going to a party or event I could see this really making them go and enjoy themselves.
> So, I'm thinking of trying it but apparently it's no better than placebo at treating bipolar disorder. I think, though, there are a few people on here that are on it and doing well, right? Who all is on it? Do any of you know others who are on it? What are your experiences? How soon did it start working? What are some side effects?
