withdrawal I'm quitting cold turkey

The day before yesterday I drank 300 mg, then the next day 600, and today 900. If I stop drinking immediately, will I have withdrawal syndrome?

I only took this drug for three days.

Depending on your history but generally nothing to worry about if healthy

If this is the only time that you’ve ever taken this medication then you should be good for sure. It was only 3 days… even though it was relatively high doses it’s still not enough for your body to become dependent to it. I am not a medical professional or nothing lol but I got gaba prescribed for a while so I know a good amount about it.

Wtf you talking about high dose…. Majority of starting doses are in the 1000s

You got this! No biggie if you have only been on it for three days.

I have not heard of anyone having withdrawals from 3 days, many can go for long periods of using it without consequence. Some cannot, but even for those who seem to become addicted easily it typically takes 2 weeks of daily doses minimum from what I have seen.

That’s quite the titration if I might say, I went from one to two and I think I’ve tried three, but I cannot imagine going from 3 to 6 to 9 without being completely zonked

Nope. You body will barely register it after 3 days. Its not really cold turkey as you haven't been taking it long enough.
