Potential Abuse ~ Dangerous Side Effects

On the street, gabapentin is sold under various nicknames including “gabbies.” One study found that gabapentin is used as a cutting agent in street heroin, increasing the potential for abuse and the development of dangerous health effects. Gabapentin can result in a number of physical and psychological effects, strong including suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

Getting High with Gabapentin

Gabapentin is not a controlled substance. When taken alone and as prescribed, there is little potential for abuse or addiction. However, when a person takes gabapentin with other medications, such as muscle relaxants, opioids, or anxiety medications, it can produce a high.

Overdosing on Gabapentin

Like opiates, you can fatally overdose on gabapentin. However, unlike opiates, there is no antidote that you can administer in the case of an overdose. Because of the drug’s long half-life, immediate medical attention is necessary to manage the complications associated with a toxic amount of this drug. Although most overdoses occur as a result of combining gabapentin with other substances, a study published in 2011 found that an individual committed suicide by intentionally overdosing on gabapentin. Overdoses involving 49 grams or more of gabapentin have been reported by the FDA.
