What people say about Gabapentin and focus
“I'm about +5 hours after my 2g dose... I feel very upbeat... A functioning, mood-enhanced, relaxation with undertones of stimulation.”
“Occasionally I'll take 800mg gabapentin before sleep and have an extremely, extremely productive day the next day, sadly this only works once, then I have to wait a week or so before I can get that effect again.”
“But when I stack it with my Gabapentin (Neurontin), a gaba focused prescribed pain nootropic, I FEEL LIKE A GOD.”
“I become foggy, can't think or focus, I want to sleep all the time (but I'm always restless), and especially with gabapentenoids, I get really moody and depressed.”
