Like baclofen it is eliminated by the kidneys not the liver, has a fairly short half-life, and is not addictive. I am still committed to baclofen as my first choice and I am persuing this with a doctor, but she seems hesitant now when it comes to prescribing baclofen at a dose that is higher than the recommended maximum. I can understand her point of view, even though high-dose baclofen seems a very safe option. High-dose gabapentin (eg. doses up to 2-4 grams per day) has been written about and safely used for epileptic conditions and occasionally mood stabilisation. If my doctor decides against baclofen, I would be willing to try high-dose gabapentin.
I'm not pushing gabapentin and in fact I'm skeptical about it. All I'm asking is if anyone has personally tried it.
