I don't have time to read the whole thread, this is only a reaction to the initial question.
The initial psychotropic effects, including euphoria, are usually short lasting.
I have gained some pain relief from gabapentin. It was effective in doses between 900 and 3600mg, while the difference between the lowest and the highest dose seem to be minimal.
It used to make me very drowsy for a while; then I quit, restarted and suddenly it seemed to be less effective, causing no side-effects at all but also helping little. I'm currently tapering it down.
I do think it's a nice drug that may help with chronic pain and also offers some recreational potential.
