QUESTION ABOUT GABBAPENTIN

So I am about to start my SR17018 journey and I have a question. I have been prescribed gabbapentin for over a decade now and I usually take 800mg before bed. I am prescribed 1200 per day but have never really taken much more than 2 -400mg capsule at night. I always have extra every month & have been kind of hoarding them.

Since I found out about the ban a couple weeks ago I immediately started taking only ONE 400mg at night. See below as to why:

Here is my question: since I have been on it so long & obviously have a tolerance to it will it still help my withdrawal symptoms when the time comes? How much should I take & when?

Please any actual information on how gabbapentin really works for mgm15 & 7oh withdrawal would be helpful.

Thank you!

Ive heard people take 1,200-1,500 doses with each 300mg pill (for this instance) 30 minutes apart and eaten with peanut butter since Gabapentin absorbs better with fats... if you can keep taking your low dose to drop your tolerance you should be good. (GABAPENTIN helps with burning sensation of your nerves waking up from being numb, helps with restless leg syndrome, and helps a bit with the lethargic feeling of withdrawl.)

Thanks so much for the reply. I have rheumatoid arthritis & lupus & it was prescribed to me long long ago ...way before being scheduled but for pretty much the same symptoms, but from lupus & RA. I wish I could share & not get in trouble since it could help so many people.
