Pregabalin and appetite

[ghostfreak]

I find if I take a recreational dose of Pregabalin and after it kicks in my appetite goes through the roof. Like I could eat everything I could get my hands on.

Anyone else experience this?

I take pregabalin regularly, and yes - it does increase appetite. I've gained over 10 kg weight after starting it.

Even when taking it as scripted it does make me want to eat and eat but the cravings do pass.

Absolutely.
Also it seems the more I eat the higher I get....

I'm on Gabapentin, not Pregabalin, but, yeah, same. When I take it as prescribed I don't notice a difference, but when I take recreational levels...it's not even hungry really, like my stomach isn't empty or rumbling or anything...more like it causes both a strong desire to eat stuff and also the lowered inhibitions to think "fuck it" and eat everything

Yeah, it’s pretty hard for me to lose weight on pregabalin and gabapentin. I definitely notice that I feel hungry almost right away after taking these.

They both have certain similarities to pot for me. Same, but different. The munchies in a same but different way as well.

But it’s weird sometimes my appetite stays the same but not always.

This is so weird to me, at this point im assuming my body has some weird enzymatic/pharmacokinetic issue because I respond strangely to a multiple recreational drugs. When I take a recreational amount of pregabalin I fast until 4 pm, and then i literally force myself to eat at 9-10 pm because i have no appetite, even when combining weed. I also seem to have no major withdrawal effect when taking a tolerance break after taking >800mg every other day. I also barely react to benzos and have no noticeable withdrawal after taking 4-5mg of lorazepam and temazepam.
