What Helps With Gabapentin Withdrawal – Are Reddit Responses Reliable?

Sep 16 2022
Categories:Drug Facts

Are you looking for help with gabapentin withdrawal? Gabapentin is a prescription medication that is most commonly used to treat seizures and nerve pain. It is also sometimes used to treat anxiety or restless leg syndrome.

Gabapentin is classified as a Schedule V drug, which means it has a low potential for abuse and addiction. However, some people may still experience gabapentin withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking the drug suddenly. Another possibility why someone may experience withdrawal symptoms is if they are abusing the drug as an alternative to other substances like benzos or opioids.

Gabapentin withdrawal symptoms can include severe anxiety, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, sweating, muscle aches and cramps, irritability, and seizures. Because these withdrawal symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable, many users turn to online forums like Reddit for support and advice.

When it comes to managing gabapentin withdrawal, you may have seen some responses to a Reddit thread asking people what has helped them, and you're wondering if they're legit. Redditors have some tried and recommended methods that they say have worked for them.

But are their suggestions reliable? We took a closer look at what these Reddit users are saying about gabapentin withdrawal and break down whether their tips are actually safe and credible.

What People Are Saying About Gabapentin Withdrawal on Reddit

When we looked at the responses to the Reddit threads regarding "What helps with gabapentin withdrawal?", there are three general themes that seem to be recurring. Below are three of the most common recommendations Redditors suggest.

#1 Supplements

One of the most popular suggestions is to take supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, L-theanine, Vitamin B, probiotics, and even CBD. Redditors say that these have helped reduce some of their withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, and muscle aches.

But are these supplements really effective in managing drug withdrawal symptoms? Yes, it's true that taking these nutritional supplements may help you feel better overall. Supplements like Vitamin B and omega-3s are essential nutrients that everyone should be taking anyway. So if you're not already taking them, they may be helpful in reducing some of your gabapentin withdrawal symptoms.

However, it's important to note that these supplements will not cure or completely eliminate your withdrawal symptoms. They may just help you feel a little bit better and make the process more bearable. You should not self-medicate with supplements or any other substance for the sole purpose of getting through drug withdrawal.

If you're considering taking any supplements during gabapentin withdrawal, it's always best to speak with a medical professional first to make sure they are safe for you and will not interact negatively with any other medications you may be taking.

#2 Lifestyle Changes

Gabapentin Withdrawal

It's very interesting to see that many Reddit users suggest natural lifestyle changes like sleeping early, Epsom salt bath, meditation/yoga, and even sunlight exposure as ways to help with gabapentin withdrawal. Other suggestions include aromatherapy with lavender oil, drinking lots of water and chamomile tea.

These methods may seem simple, but they can actually be very effective in managing withdrawal symptoms. For example, getting enough sleep is crucial for helping your body recover from the stress of withdrawal. Taking an Epsom salt bath can also help relax your muscles and can help you with sleeping better at night.

Meditation and yoga are also great methods for relaxation and managing stress. And finally, exposure to sunlight can help improve your mood and energy levels. These are all great tips that may help you feel better during gabapentin withdrawal.

However, as with anything, these methods may not work for everyone. If you find that your symptoms are not improving or are getting worse, it's important to seek professional medical help.

#3 Tapering off Slowly

Many Reddit users have also said that the best way to manage gabapentin withdrawal is to taper off the drug slowly. This means gradually reducing your dosage over a period of time until you are completely off the drug.

Tapering off gabapentin slowly is actually the recommended method by medical professionals. However, it should not be done on your own. Some Reddit users seem to recognize this because they actually respond to the original poster by saying that they should see a doctor to help them taper off the drug safely.

Managing Your Gabapentin Withdrawal Effectively

While there are some truths to what Reddit users are saying when it comes to medical and health concerns like gabapentin withdrawal, it is important to remember that not everything you read online is true.

It's always best to speak with an addiction treatment professional before making any decisions about your health. If you are experiencing gabapentin withdrawal, please seek professional help for correct detox and treatment procedures.
