This indicates that after youâve taken a gabapentin dose, approximately 50% will have been cleared from your system within 5 to 7 hours (on average). Using this information, we can determine that gabapentin will stay in your system for an estimated 1.15 to 1.60 days after your final dose. In other words, you shouldnât expect any of the gabapentin to remain in systemic circulation after 2 days (48 hours) post-ingestion.
For example, withdrawal from short-acting opiates such as morphine will start 6 to 8 hours after the last dose, peak in 2 to 3 days, and will generally last 5 to 7 days. Withdrawal from longer-acting opiates such as methadone will start 1 to 3 days after the last dose, peak in 7 to 10 days, and last up to 21 days.
