Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

Fuck! The last time I went to a drugstore they asked me for my prescription when buying Pregabalin. I hope it was just because my intoxication face and not some new law.

1. I am prescribed lyrica for pain caused by nerve damage in my knee--it is effective for this purpose--but I find myself taking it more often as an anxiolytic. It seems to have myriad psychoactive effects, but one of the strangest things about it is that it seems, somehow, to be capable of acting as an upper and a downer at the same time.

I find his to be true for me as well... I can only describe it as feeling tired and wired at the same time.

It's the only substance that really does this to me. I must say that Pregabalin is a great potentiator for many drugs though.. Especially goes well with Opiates and weed.

Just found out that Pregabalin won’t be available on prescription in NI (UK) soon but don’t know exactly when. Apparently GP’s are contacting patients soon who are on to get them onto an alternative med.

I take it for GAD and sleep issues - are there any alternatives that provide the same relief?

I hope this doesn't apply to mainland England also..?

Maybe give Promethazine a try for your anxiety and sleep issues...

If ya in the US it is Rx only these days. The "lock-down" on pregab is popularly tied to the following perspective:

Anything goes good with pregab imo/e; thought the same with gabapentin but to anotha leva fo sho. lol
And a hells yeah to weed and pregab. Nothing better than taking a few puffs on some good weed a few hours afer the pregab starts kickin in. Just amazing to me. Need someone to splice genes from the two and come up with some preg-anja or summin.
UK has always had a time with this chemical for some reason... I thought it used to be super expensive in the US (when it was lyrica and no generics) until I saw what they were paying. Cant remember the numbers but outlandish.

No more pregabalin for you! (lol sorry Supersonic had to do the Seinfeld soup nazi guy).

In the US it is scheduled. My doc would have switched me from gabapentin to pregabalin but I wanted to stick with gabapentin. I get weird head twitches on pregablin over a certain amount. I also feel like I am going to lose consciousness. Goes right to my head. Gabapentin has a deep down body feeling for me. Relaxes me.

I think the twitches on high doses are called myoclonic jerks... Anything over 600 mg and the same thing happens to me.

yeah I get that too, at high doses. I even fell down once. it's kind of alarming, but I rarely take it so I don't need to dose that high to get the effect I desire. I love pregabalin, the first time I ever took it, I had one of the best and most pleasurable highs of my entire life, it was insane, like a strong opiate combined with GHB and something weed-like (in that it was pretty trippy). It is hands down the best thing to help against opiate withdrawal, too. Gabapentin is quite similar but just a lot less intense... gabapentin is more functional and smoother. Pregabalin is quite intoxicating at sufficient dosage but gabapentin remains pretty functional even at higher doses.

Hahaha 😂 I'm sure it was because of my intoxication face (tramadol, alprazolam, diazepam, codeine, tapentadol plus I ate nothing) and red eyes.

Anyway man, I've always wanted to try Gabapentin, even though the staggered doses sound like a real pain in the ass, but I'm used to doing it with tramadol by now.

And about the myoclonic jerks, they are scary, especially if you took it with tramadol. It's like a disaster waiting for it to happen.

I understand the myoclonic jerks. I get that sometimes with gabapentin. But with pregabalin it seems more sinister and shocks my head in a way that scares me. I think I just may get these side effects.

I do have pregabalin around too. I have to say as long as gabapentin works for me I am all about keeping tolerance low. Gabapentin can get rid of about 90% of kratom withdrawal for like a whole day or two so for now it does me good.

Pregabalin also causes you a voracious appetite or is it just me? Gabapentin too?

Well when I do gabapentin I do have a lot of food available. I make it my treat day so as I stagger it I eat too and even get a large Coca Cola to chase it. Both gabapentin and pregabalin make me hungry but not in a benzo way. With benzos I can wake up the next day and realize I stuffed my face and fell asleep but not remember. :) But I am aware I eat when i have gabapentin or pregabalin. It does not kill my memory like a benzo. Much gentler.

Why are GP’s not prescribing pregabalin anymore? Is it because of some junkies are mixing them with more dangerous depressants trying to get extra junky high and then as a result end up killing themselves? I must be missing something?

If by Junkies you mean addicts yes you are spot on, Ive lost 3 close friends in the past 2 years from Heroin OD's in each case they had also taken Pregabs
 
The Wizard of the Creek said:
So just heroin wasn’t good enough for them? I’ve been clean for almost 8 years now from all opioids, including heroin back when you could actually get that. Never during my junkie time did I feel that I needed benzos or gabapentinoids to potentiate my high. Apparently, either I was getting good shit, or junkies these days throw harm reduction right out the window and make stoopid choices to take other heavy duty CNS depressants on top of heroin (let’s be honest, it’s dangerous fentanyl now), and decide that they want to potentiate their nod by adding benzos or gabapentinoids. Then your friends get that nod they are looking for and never wake up. I’m sorry dude but fuck them. This is a harm reduction site, and if people are too stupid to not do their own research about what will kill them getting loaded, they don’t deserve to do drugs, and in your friends case do anything else either.

It’s people like your friends that make legitimate medications banned, like pregabalin, because they were too stupid to check with harm reduction sites like this one and kill themselves ODing with it in their blood stream.

I’m sorry your friends are dead, but you should have told them about basic harm reduction and sites like this one before they killed themselves. Their stupidity led to the direct banning of life saving drugs, and is why people can’t get medications for sometimes life threatening conditions anymore.

Fuck your friends

Fuck my friends? Wow classy!
They where all prescribed pregabs by there doctors who knew they had heroin addictions so it was never about adding anything to increase the affect of the gear. Also most of the addicts I know dont have computers let alone internet access so sites such as this only reach so far.
