Pregabalin / Lyrica

Joke post? In my own experiences it literally damaged my brain and memory + the ability to learn new things. My friend who was ten years+ on the shit shared the exact same feelings about that poisonous "medicine". Also, @tubgirl.jpg what do you think of long-term pregabalin use?

Im gonna find those studies and post them here, may take an hour or so (playing ranked ow + watching LOL tournament)

an alarmist ALL CAPS post with no substance is usually percieved as a joke/troll post unless you were being ironic (which you weren't)

When Pregabalin 'literally damaged your brain' you had this confirmed by MRI scans? And the doctors said it was definitely the Preg that did it and not too much video game playing? o_O

The first study you link to concludes 'This study concluded that pregabalin misuse patients were likely to have cognitive impairment due to the drug effect and their cognitive impairment was less than the polysubstance misuse group' - well duh. How is that different to good 'ol booze? For some, cognitive impairment is the whole point of using drugs recreationally....

The second study is a study done on diabetic mice. Squeak squeak!
 
I advice you to take 600mg pregabalin for years and then think "did I damage my brain"

Video games damaged my brain and not pregabalin? Get the fuck outa here. Pregabalin is poison and thats a fact that people who have been multiple years on it tend to agree with.

I'm not saying that Pregabalin (or any drug) can't have long term negative health effects, and I completely believe that experiences of the kind Tubgirl posted are genuine, but to make a claim that it 'literally damaged your brain' you have to come up with better evidence than anecdotal stories that people 'tend to agree' with you.

Has a doctor actually confirmed you have brain-damage? Oh wait... LoginNotSecure just did... my bad

Does lyrica cause low libido for anyone else? I don't know if it's lyrica or antipsychotics

Decreased or inability to gain an erection is a listed side effect.

I would imagine that a lot of these neg side effects are feom overprescibed amounts and or abuse of pregab.
Hell, eveything is a toxin and we load as muxh as we can when we can.
Just thoughts
peace
 
I was prescribed 150mgs of Lyrica B.D. (twice daily) years ago but never ended up taking them. I was on methadone at the time and just wanted to get off all medications asap and ended up throwing out a whole bin bag full of them.

It came in handy for me recently when quitting opioids (300mgs daily) for the first 3-5 days then I just stopped when I was over the hump of the opioid withdrawals. I've heard horror stories about it from people who have been on it for years, but I dont think theres a single medication out there that doesnt have long term side-effects, especially if its addictive like Lyrica or Pregabalin.

I'm no doctor so I wont recommend it - but all I can say is if I didnt have those Lyrica for the first few days of opioid withdrawal I wouldnt have got clean.
 
If you look at the Patient Information Leaflet for any medication now the list of side effects is literally as long as my arm.

I'm not saying that meds don't or can't give you side effects

For Pregabalin, I have noticed that it makes me hungry

Likewise with the Nitrous Oxide causing vitmain B12 deficiency - I've read that all the time - it could be real (ie. backed up by accreditted scientific studies) or just another message-board myth....

There was a period of several months where I was inhaling 50+ chargers of nitrous oxide on a daily basis, sometimes 100 or more. Even though I dearly loved the stuff (and could actually afford it at the time), I finally managed to stop when the tingling sensation in my fingers and toes got too strong to ignore, even in my heavily anaesthetized state.

Of course I can't be sure, but the symptoms were more than a little bit worrisome. I was at least aware at the time of the possibility that nitrous (ab)use might cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, which could in turn cause peripheral neuropathy.

If you are using nitrous day-in day-out, taking B12 vitamins is useless, since the presence of nitrous oxide in the body prevents B12 from being absorbed (IIRC, at least). The obvious solution is to take breaks and allow the B12 to replenish itself.... but I found this to be much easier in theory than in practice.

It is embarrassing to admit this, but I've never had such intense psychological cravings for a drug before or since: I found myself sucking from the dispenser in some pretty inappropriate places (on the job, behind the wheel), with both palms rubbed visibly raw from the effort of screwing in hundreds of chargers a week; lying immobilized on the fold-out couch after a heavy session, watching in a state of total indifference as vivid images showed me all the ways my life was crumbling; rushing out to seedy porno shops on an almost-weekly basis, paying an outrageous price to obtain 20 measly chargers in a box covered with humiliating "erotic" photo art, all to avoid taking a day or two off from the nitrous (God forbid)....

no need to be embarrassed - we've all done humiliating or foolish things revolving around drugs...

I've found that the head-rush from N20 is so brief - lasting about 10-15 seconds that they barely seemed worth it. What did you use to inhale the chargers with? I bought some whipped cream dispensers and would fill each with 3 or 4 chargers, then suck - what was good about them is that you could control the amount and flow rate using the handle. The downside is that it takes a while to fill them up with N20.

And after a few uses N20 makes me feel more giddy then euphoric anyway, so I just kind of stopped using them. Last I heard, the UK govt was planning to drop the inevitable banhammer on them anyway... mainly cause all the kids were littering the parks with used chargers o_O
