When will I feel normal

[yubacity]

How is everyone out there.I don't know where to post this so do it here.I have been smashing the hell out of the pregablins for 5 days.I know around day two I get anxiety that goes around end of day 3.I normally get some benzos but I don't know what's up no one I know can get any.Does anyone know any non opiate based remedy for this

I'm doing well Yuba,

I'm glad you are having a good time with your family but your post below concerns me, you need to try to take it easy or you're just going to end up with another dependence.

I think you should give your gabs to your wife to dole out to you if you're having a difficult time doing it. Is that possible?

Ash.

How you doing ash how is your pain management going.Well I'm doing good wife and mates wife going to take her kids to theme.It will just be me and my mom.I think the relationship between me and my mom and siblings has changed.They treating me with kid gloves.My brothers have rang me everyday and my sister wants me to move to seattle where her and her family are.That not be happening I love Yuba city furthest I'd m9ve from there is Sacramento.While I'm typing this my wife getting changed.I am such a lucky guy she not just got the beauty but got a great heart loyal to me beyond belief.They way I'm feeling now is now the time for me to repay that loyalty by keeping clean.This will sound soppy but I just want to grow old together raise our kids hit old age and hope I go before her.

How you doing Ashley hows your day going.I would have been dependant on it by now if I could get a day 1 buzz on day 5 the tolerance goes up so quick you have to take breaks.I normally use it on days cravings are bad it relaxes me.Finally after waiting for a call back I got some clonazepam only the 0.5 mg ones but I ordered quite a few.What you up to Ashley

Ash.

So, to treat addiction correctly you have to settle for the lesser of two evils. To treat an addiction to heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl, or any other opium derived narcotic, methadone or buprenorphine are the best bet to recovery. Don't get hung up on the misleading idea of trading one addiction for another. What matters is what is best for you to function as your best possible self. Your health and well being are what are important here. Safer opiates such as methadone and buprenorphine are proven aids in the recovery process. Ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.

How you doing Ashley I'm good how's your weekend.I had a couple of rough days after stopping lyrica not serious but felt anxious and restless.The anxiety has gone now just feel tired like I did after detox.Might just take a 300 mg capsule today been six days since last pregabs.Been feeling down so thinking take one get energy back and take wife and mom out to eat

When you get the Lyrica - keep enough to titrate down/taper and you'll avoid all the bullshit. Due to the rapid tolerance issue, it's not worth taking too many day after day. You're not going to get the high like that. It's never going to happen. You must know this by now.


If it's the high you're looking for, then skip 2 days in between dosing.

Lyrica w/d can be brutal. Taper down or skip a couple days between doses.

It was nothing like a opium wd but this time was not good.First I got anxiety now left feeling depressed.Normally I would get two days of feeling little shitty this time 6 days later I still feel fatigued and depressed.Serves me right I was reading the pregablin thread here a few weeks ago thinking how lucky I was not to feel to bad after binging on lyrica.It kind of feels like the depression I got after opium wd

 

[yubacity]

Emptied out half the powder from a 300 mg tablets and had 150 mg pregab.Feel better did it after 6 days so will keep it 1 time week only.Even tried eating loads of Imodium the other day to bring my mood up.Has pissed me of that I have even had a little wd from pregabs.Feel sorry for people who have major wd from lyrica.Have just used ashleys idea and given all my lyrica to my wife with instructions no matter how much I bug her not to let me have no more then 600 mg once a week.

Hugs,

Hello everyone I need some help.Been having a lyrica wd for last six days yesterday took 150 mg feel good this morning.My question is I have only used 150mg in 7 days should I just not do any now for a week or should I taper over next few days.I won't say the wd are brutal just anxiety and depression but had to do a little yesterday to get out of the mad depression and lethargy I was feeling.Cant fucking believe I been so stupid to quit opiates and then go thru the shit again with lyrica

hey man. sorry to hear the lyrica is getting to you. you should definitely stop until you feel totally fine without it, and then wait some more. quitting one addictive drug and then starting to try and recreationally use another drug that can cause dependence is asking fro this trouble, man. I'd stop until you feel strong enough to establish solid rules around lyrica use (once a week sounds reasonable to me) so that you don't risk lyrica withdrawal of all things making you go back to heroin. you're still doing a lot better than me though man, I'm 4 days clean off a 9 day bender and only just now starting to recover.

To Tell you the truth mate I was worried about you did not hear from you for a while was hoping you had not relapsed.Its so fucking easy to do.I feel ok today but weak and that's the time I crave crack and heroin but will resist.I know how you must be feeling pissed off but you go again.The cunting thing is if you like me the high not good anymore it's raked with guilt and disappointment so we do more thinking the guilt will pass.Did you get wd after this bender.Stay strong brother

 

[yubacity]

The bad thing was with the lyrica I should have known it will fuck me.I just loved the buzz to much the only drug I like more is heroin anything that gives that much pleasure must have a downside.But I still did it tried to juggle them and benzos thinking I smart by giving myself breaks but it still fucked me.I will say this a lyrica wd is a headfuck I spent days in bed just listening to coma by g n r on repeat and every now and again I would think I better of killing myself but I could not hurt my family like that.Luckly this morning I think it's passed no anxiety but still worn out

 

[alabamabrown]

I started a rapid withdrawal from methadone about three and a half weeks ago. after three weeks of feeling horrendous I have relapsed by taking heroin for the last couple of days. I have only needed a really small amount to relieve the withdrawal sympyoms and its made me feel so much better. I dont want to have to take heroin every day just to feel normal, like I used to. but I plan on having some in so that every few days when the post acute withdraeal symptoms from my methadone withdrawal get too tough I have a way to feel better.

I know it's hard mate and I'm not one to give advice I'm a habitual relapser.But your plan to use every few days won't that just keep you in continuous wd with a days relief when you use.Could you not give lyrica a go instead not like I did but just the of day when you have had enough of feeling shit

It can go either way with the high & guilt. I can either use once and find the whole experience is marred by disappointment to the point where I don't even enjoy it and I stop after once or sometimes I'll use, may get guilt after the first shot, but then continue using and the euphoria of the high eclipses the guilt, and then I am back in total junkie mode and don't give a fuck and for days or weeks will only be thinking about where my next shot is coming from. That's what happened this past relapse - thankfully I ran out of money and schemes long enough to come to my senses and wonder what the fuck was going on. I didn't get any physical withdrawals but had an absolutely brutal depression, especially for the first couple of days, but it's fading now I'm lifting weights & meditating again. Trying to keep busy and avoid my main enabler - he's a good friend but I'm the only one he uses with and I know if I contact him he will likely have money and want to get on it, but I'm avoiding.

Hey man, you've been down this road before. You know this is how addiction grips you. You have definitely crossed that line from recreational use to problematic - I would really recommend stopping the lyrica altogether and giving it a wide berth. If you aren't careful you will end up hooked on lyrica or back on heroin or, God forbid, hooked on both. Be careful, man!

This is a sure-fire way back onto heroin, buddy. You will not moderate your use. You will end up hooked again very very quickly. Pull it back while you can because you are playing with fire and are on the verge of getting burnt again badly.
