Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How long do it take for gabapentin to ware off, and how do you get the med out of your system. if it s not your prescription. And can it be harmful if your not one to take these drugs and received two pills from a person that identified the drug as something other than it really was what to do?
Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query. I understand your concern. Don't worry if you have taken two tablets of Gabapentin unintentionally. The half life of Gabapentin is 5 to 7 hours. So the drug gets out of your system in a day. It may produce some drowsiness and unsteadiness. Otherwise there are no major side effects with 2 tablets only. So relax, just sleep it off now. But be careful in the future. Make doubly sure that the medicines you take are really the ones prescribed for you. Take Care Dr Noble Zachariah
