Like many amputees, I've taken boatloads of Gabapentin in my life, but I've never achieved that level of stoner face.

    You can get dilated pupils from many medications that don't make you high, but make you look like you're off you tits on cocaine.

    I don't recall ever looking like that on Gaba, but it looks like this little gal sure gets the magic eyes from it. Maybe it's a cat thing.

    Yeah it makes you drowsy and can help you sleep. But it’s not a very good sleep and you wake up frequently. I’m a bit surprised they prescribe it to pets or even humans. A muscle relaxer like flexeril would be better for what it is normally prescribed for.

    I disagree, in my case as someone with insomnia. I take it for a couple of things, one being insomnia. When I take my insomnia dosage, I sleep very well and very deeply. The key for me is to only take that higher insomnia dosage when I really need it, that way my tolerance for it doesn't increase.

    Yeah, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t make a blanket statement like that. If it works for you, then that’s what matters.

    We all react differently to drugs, and it frustrates me when my doctors do not listen.

    This one is also high as a kite on gabapentin! We're moving across the country soon so the vet told me to test if before we go. She's very chill.

    I have a spicy kitty that gets gabapentin before the vet visits. Does your cat get floppy and compliant too?

    They use it for everything. It’s useful for pain, withdrawal, anxiety and a number of other weird things. Humans, cats, dogs. Shit’s like a cartoon health pack that fixes anything.

    They gave it to me for anxiety and it made me feel like I was dying, so clearly doesn’t work for everyone.
