The 30 minute time frame did not come from me lol . Is this what is bothering you? There are three other mods that were here before me as well as the creator of the sub who has a passion for Gabapentinoids. There are six of us. People were doing it when I came in here. I said I personally got the information elsewhere, from a different drug forum from people who were far more advanced in the science behind it.
I find it curious that you say the 30 minute is fictional and follow with “but what is clear is that the longer between doses the better the bioavailability” lol. The 30 minute increasing absorption can’t be fictional because you yourself saw a study that said it had better absorption staggering at 30 minutes. You based your whole 1 hour theory on this very study. Furthermore thousands of other people have had the same experience as myself when using recreationally. People who have actually tried it. Is this the way everyone does it? No. Some people prefer to take it all in one dose. Some people prefer to take it on a empty stomach. I have often times taken a dose between 700/1000mg on a empty stomach with coffee as I’m running out the door. It hits hard, but isn’t as strong and doesn’t last as long. I’ve also tried sublingual and some people swear it works faster yet there is no first pass it’s bypassing because it isn’t metabolized by the liver. It’s metabolized by the kidneys virtually unchanged. So in theory is should work faster but I don’t discount people’s experiences.
This is why I said everyone has their hacks. Im not saying your idea doesn’t make sense I’m saying it doesn’t work for me and I explained why. It didn’t work because it’s too long between doses to reap the benefits. I can particularly tell when I’m using it for pain. You on the other hand haven’t tried 30 minutes with fats and acidic drinks other way and assume it won’t work. The expression “Contempt prior to investigation is ignorance” comes to mind.
These are just hacks. The reason behind them makes sense. It’s mod of transport gets saturated so staggering helps increase absorption. Saturated fats help increase absorption because Gabapentin is fat soluble, and acidic drinks because of the PH. If you feel 60 minutes is the way to go and you get good pain/anxiety or recreational effects from doing large doses this way then cool. Recreationally I get way more bang for my buck staggering as well as keeping my tolerance down. Which is good if I want to go two days in row. Which was my point in saying that hour wait between doses wouldn’t be worth it to me. By the time my last 300mg would be taken six/8/10 hours later my first three would have worn off lol.
