Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

Personally I never had WD's from Pregabalin. Even after a year of using 225 mg a day.
Not everybody is susceptible to pregabalin withdrawal. I was on 600mg for many months then even increased to 900mg/d, stopped cold when I didn't get any more effects and got away with it. I guess we're lucky as we have so many reports of strong withdrawals.

yea was on pregabalin solo 600 mg but then overnight the doctor stopped prescribing it and i didn’t have any significant withdrawal either, only the kratom seemed a little weaker but i just can’t cope without bromazolam at the moment and with the pregabalin it helps me to take a little less im prescritpted 2x 225mg/day. pregabalin is really weird when it comes to withdrawls.

I wonder whether Kratom helps with pregabalin withdrawal because I was taking that too during the time when I quite pregabalin. I didn't think about it, Kratom was fairly weak for me but who knows.
 
whats rx-ed ? sry im from germany im not too good in english. what benzo you take and how much/long?
nice weekend everbody. :cheers:
And a wonderful weekend to you, too. :)
I dose bromazolam 3 times daily at around .2mg per dose.
If I dose kratom I pretty much forget about the brom with no issues.
Been on this brom for close to 8 months I think. Started at maybe 1-2mg per dose a few times a day. It was a mistake as my info was wrong regarding the volume of solvent used and the weight of brom that went into it. Once I realized this I started dropping doses quickly to get under 1mg a day max.
Rx does stand for prescribed.
I took 100mg pregab yesterday afternoon and by 8pm I was asleep like nobody's business and slept great. Skipped night dose of brom and will wait til noon to dose today as I feel fine.
Lots of remodeling going on in wife's building and we were shifting things around and found a small container of phenibut faa and downed it so I could trash the container... maybe a gram of it (don't have scales here). This (from personal experience) will stretch any substance I may add for the day... it'll take about 5 hours for the phenibut to start to kick in.

yeeeah, my first time with phenibut was really the best feeling ever, but after a few times it didn't work so well for me and triggered a strong rebound. Unfortunately I never had faa, that should be nicer again because of sublingual. thanks for your answer that gives me hope with the brom taper :) all the best to you!
 
my first time with phenibut was really the best feeling ever,
It took a while for me to find the right dose for my needs/wants but when I did; wow.
I found using phenibut every third day will produce consistent and sustainable effects. These days I may dose once a month maybe twice... depending on what's going on.
Do you have enough brom to do the slow taper? May not need being said but these gabapetinoids have a notorious way of building tolerance quickly.
 
Personally I think this is doable.
If benzos are used for a few days and then pregab a few days there is no dependence or severe tolerance building.
They are different classes of drugs and affect different brain receptors in different ways. If both can be used to treat whatever it is being treated then this may well work out in a fortunate way.
Just my opinion being Rx-ed pregab and self medicate with benzo.
It certainly can be done but is it worth? While tolerance and physical dependence might be lowered somewhat by mix and matching those two, a whole plethora of problems of poly-drug (ab)use comes into play that way and I would recommend people to stick only with what they are prescribed.
 
-4 months later and I with the help of psychedelics and one mdma session and a lots of quality weed some dissos. I don't need benzos as a matter of fact I have lots of them just sitting there 2 months not using them and well alcohol and benzos never made kindling now with Kratom 2weeks without buprenorphine!
-only Kratom tried 2 days ago or 3 asked xoroth for advice, Thank him
-phenibut or f-phenibut helped with pregabalin lowering so now there are no inter-dose withdrawals cause I have spare
-only for pregabs will see cause it helps with my backpain and whatever is causing my acl surgery knee from 2017. and arthrtoscopic meniscus same leg first 2010. to not feel quadriceps and my right ass
-meaning there is no feeling except sometimes when sleeping like it gets on fire and the only thing is for it to stop is just move the leg which is funny and said to 3 docs without some more knowledge but here in CRo all are covered with insurance when working so they sometimes forget Hipokratic oath and those new ones selling their MRI-s, CT-s, or EMNG-s are still expensive like hell cause they won't get back their profit in couple years now and that is scandal here
but that is another story

yeah i have 2 halve full bottles with solution 100ml one is 4/ml and the other is 2.5-3/ml and like 200-300mg powder left. im thinking to ordering again but at this site 50euro is minimum so i have to order another g. sound not like a good idea :D but i dont know... took a 200uq blotter of acid hope the other meds dont fuck the trip too much up :D

yeah when i quit pregabalin cold turkey of course i have to take more kratom but i dont remember having any withdrawl from the pregabalin and i was on 600-900mg/day.
 
I've been reading some posts in this thread and I'm really concerned about my use of Lyrica. They prescribed it to me a long time ago, maybe 6 years, today I took 1200mg and I feel relaxed... I have a cocaine abuse problem that I have been maintaining for about 8 months in doses of more than 1gr per day. How fucked up can my brain and my body be, if we add to that my use of ketamine, tramadol and mdma, I can simply think of a very early death... April 1st is my 24th birthday... I don't want to live anymore .

Hey dude, we've all been in similar spots, especially in the heights of our respective addictions. Might I suggest forums such as Health and Recovery and The Dark Side for support? 💙

Important thing is how fuck up do you feel?

1g is still within limits of “normal” doses and it’s not that damaging but I can imagine it’s a hard habit to kick at high doses after many years which isn’t reason to not try it, at least to lower dose and make a use of “brightens” it brings..

I was so fucked up before. But I feel worse than ever, controlling my impulses and consumption, in addition to my very dark way of seeing life. Saying 1gr of coke is to give an example... during the weekdays, weekends are triple of that. in addition to the multiple binges in the last few months... today I did not consume, here I am seeing what else I can sell, to this I mean. It's bullshit.
 
How long are you doing coke? I was on multiple grams daily for half a year - year.. One of worst mistakes of my life.

You’ll feel much better when you stop, and stopping it isn’t easy but WD’s aren’t really bad and cravings can be sorted out in a plethora of ways.

Your not fucked up for good, I guarantee you! Hell, you are still young enough to discover whole new levels of fucked up, and that’s good, that’s life! While you fall you gain a lot of momentum and fall trough the lowest point and pop back up on top...doesn’t sound logical but neither does superpositioning and loads of things...but they just are...

8 months at this rate of consumption. It's totally fucked up. I just want some coke now, nothing else.
 
I know the feeling. Almost killed myself and managed to properly fuck up my life cuz I WANTED IT SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. But I tell you when you ditch it, it’s not like with benzos where WD’s last for months, possibly years or like with opiates where hell is not that long (well idk about shitty bupe, methadone or fent) but it’s intense and cravings aren’t as strong as with coke in fact but they stay! With coke you push trough initial WD’s and after that avoid places where there’s coke and you’ll manage it, feel better week by week and one day wake up and get trough day without even thinking about it.

Do you snort, smoke or inject it?
 
I snort it, rarely smoke it. But I feel screwed in many ways, I've also used benzos for years therapeutically. I took a large dose of different drugs now, hoping to feel better without feeling anything...it's stupid and bitter.
I'm sorry for not being able to be optimistic right now, but right now I can't think that I want to continue with everything around me.. everything that happens in my personal life is also a big fucking part of this thing.
