Should be medically supervised by a professional in a medical detox facility if at all possible. Neurontin withdrawal can be dangerous due to the increased risk of seizures of the overcompensating central nervous system being in a state of shock. Seizures can be fatal. Gabapentin (Neurontin) Overdose Risk Gabapentin overdose is a serious risk since the addict will continually raise the dose while seeking the high that the drug initially created for him or her. The threshold for overdose risk is variable and can fluctuate wildly from person to person. What may have a mild effect on one person might be enough to push another person over the edge. If you or someone you know is abusing Gabapentin and you see any of the following signs of overdose, seek medical attention immediately:Extreme double visionSlurred speechExtreme drowsiness and sedationDiarrheaRashItching of the face or mouthSwellingDifficulty breathingSeizuresOverdose risk significantly increases after an addict has withdrawn and relapsed, as tolerance is not what it once was. Like any substance, an overdose of Gabapentin requires immediate medical attention as it can have lasting effects on the liver, heart, lungs, and brain.Street Value of Gabapentin and AccessibilityWhen bought off the street, Gabapentin is relatively cheap. This is due to it being diverted so commonly from medicine cabinets across the country by addicts seeking to mitigate withdrawals or potentiate other illicit substances. It is also easily accessed by younger children and teenagers looking to experiment with drugs. This is due to so many people having legitimate prescriptions for it because it has such a wide range of uses. This means that the price of Gabapentin is low and people can find it without much effort. Sadly, because so many people think that it is a generally safe drug, some of the more unscrupulous drug dealers will not hesitate to sell it to youth, where they might have pause with certain ‘harder’ substances like heroin or crack.Because of the ease of accessibility and subtle, pleasant effects, the NCBI and SAMHSA both expect Neurontin abuse to continue. Gabapentin abuse statistics back evidence of this trend. When used in combination with other drugs, it is lethal.On average, it costs about $1.00 dollar for 100 milligrams. 300 milligrams is enough to give a small, inexperienced user such a high, while 600 milligrams enough to intoxicate an adult that doesn’t have any tolerance to the drug. Once physically addicted, many users will begin to need doses of upwards of 2000 to 3000 milligrams to create the effects they desire.Early Recovery from Gabapentin or Neurontin AddictionKnowing the street value of gabapentin is not the only indication of a bigger issue. Know what to expect when recovering from this prescription medication.If you or someone
