A quick background: I have been prescribed a lot of medications over the years because of constant misdiagnosing [currently diagnosed BP2]. I’ve had SSRI’s, Mood Stabilizers, (lots&lots of) Benzodiazepines, Mild Anti-Psychotics, Muscle Relaxants & Painkillers along with a handful of other medications.

A year ago I kicked my Benzo habit (Clonazolam, stay away) that was equivalent to 12-14mg of Klonopin a day. So naturally over time I have developed quite a tolerance to most types of “downers”.

Starting my typical lazy Sunday night as usual, little bit of Call of Duty, Forza, Netflix etc. After a little while I felt like enhancing my relaxing evening with some Kratom capsules I had from last weekend. Now I’ll just document my experience in terms of time.

8:00pm
[0min]
+1200mg Gabapentin & 6g Kratom
On an empty stomach I take 4 of my prescribed 300mg capsules of Gabapentin (Neurontin), washing them down with soda which usually helps them dissolve quicker. I follow this with 8 capsules of Kratom with approximately 750mg each.

time elapsed
[35min]
Experiencing a slight head change, also my general anxiety has definitely been turned down a notch or two. At this point I decide to have some dinner and settle down to binge some Netflix.

time elapsed
[1hr 40min]
+1200mg Gabapentin
Moderate head change. The pleasant drowsy stage has begun to kick in. Not in a lethargic or sleepy way at all, it’s hard to describe. Significant positive change in both my mood and thoughts. I’m feeling the usual comforting warmness of the Kratom (as it is a light opiate) almost like a nice hug. The Gabapentin, as usual, makes me calmer than normal, also in a positive way. The combination of the anti-anxiety properties of the Gabapentin plus the slight euphoric effects of Kratom is a great combination. I feel damn good.

time elapsed
[2hr]
+ 6g Kratom
Well shit, definitely “high” at this point. Very cozy warm feeling that is the most noticeable in my face and legs. In a slightly chatty/cuddly mood with a friend of mine when she decided to stop over to hang out. I give her 600mg of Gabapentin (her first time). Very very slight decrease in fine motor skills but barely noticeable. I take more Kratom.

time elapsed
[4hr]
+ 1200mg Gabapentin
Its midnight now and I feel fucking great. It’s a very nice balance of moderate/high “High” and pleasant drowsyness. Slight itchy from Kratom but nothing compared to dilaudid. She’s feeling awesome. I take my last dose of Gabapentin with plans to be asleep by 2:30ish.

time elapsed
[5hr / 5hr 30min]
We fall asleep, her first. Really great night.
