Gabapentin + Clonidine
- kruptos 5y agoWhat are you suggesting these medications be used for?
- azalemeth 5y agoA recovering alcoholic can die from "not drinking" -- delirium tremens, the "shakes" that they get in the morning, are a physical manifestation of the transcriptional changes that have occurred in their brains as a result of being adapted to ethanol. The drugs mentioned all modulate neurotransmitters pharmacologically and are often part of the recovery process (the details are quite complex).
- sdze 5y agoBaclofen, titrate up until you reach indifference to alcohol.
- noir_lord 5y agoPeople use gabapentin recreationally? I don’t even take my full low dose during the day as I don’t like the way it makes me feel (though it’s a very effective drug for me).
- empressplay 5y agoNo to stop drinking
- iJohnDoe 5y agoDon’t know anything about Clonidine. Gabapentin is often prescribed for depression. It can be taken with other antidepressants. I’ve heard it can cause severe weight gain via water weight and bloating.
