Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

Hey sorry if this is off topic kinda… but since you seem to have experience with both… do you think if a person didn’t like the way gabapentin felt, that there’s any chance that pregabalin would be different. I have chronic pain & tried gabapentin a while ago with hopes that it could help …. but really didn’t like how it felt. I’ve been wondering lately if I tried pregabalin if it would be better or I could tolerate it. Some stuff I read seems like they are similar but others say there are differences too. I figured I’d ask someone that has had experiences with both. I wouldn’t blame you if you couldn’t really answer since all our body chemistry’s are different
I have used baclofen, gabapentin, pregabalin, and phenibut. Phenibut I find the most enjoyable. Pregabalin is great, but even if I take it early in the evening I will sleep straight through my alarms. For me baclofen doesn't work without combining it with another substance. When I first tried gabapentin it was phenomenal, but just as @Keif' Richards said don't expect those effects to last in the long run without tolerance breaks.

Best wishes!
 
Thats good and try not to be on it if you can and you do!!
dou you feel any rebound anxiety after?,,,or bettween those binges?

So it help with anxiety than that is the biggest issue that bothers me cause anxiety is hell for me, I was in some heavy pains but anxiety is the thing that makes me incapable of executing tasks, even watch TV I loose concentration......let me just rephrase that all in past sense but you get the point!

pregabalin was intended for pain which is not very very good in that as tinittus and those jerks, later it was I think became GAD mad also, but when taking for years I tend to also loose track but that is like once or two days in a row maybe twice a month break
otherwise i get very agrressive, than those frickin RLS worse than from buprenorphine, similar to benzos.

But now all may think look again horror story and it is cliche cause there are times I could easily stopped, as also fast tapers only worked on me. slow taper is just torture for what??

So do you take any med inbetween?
Am prescribed Mirtazapine same Pizotifen to be taken at night but that's about it.

Used to abuse benzos but try my hardest not to get them these days. If I stick to Pregabalin then it's all good.

Anxiety kills me, physically and mentally. For example the other day was terrible I was a mess with it. Couldn't focus, couldn't do simple tasks ugh fuck anxiety.
 
Still feeling effects from a stupid and dangerous amount of Pregabalin yesterday. More like a head high, way more social than usual still and wanting to do and talk more. Appetite has returned to normal thank god.
 
Also it seems to block caffeine effects which is interesting and I never noticed it until now.
Not being funny but depending on dose it may dampen effects of most things... cept those substances that are suggested not to be taken with it.
It's definitely dose dependant imo/e.
I love the effects but know it is not sustainable for recreational purposes.
Be safe, yes?
 
I never noticed Lyrica blocking caffeine. Had my caffeine today actually, along with some TAK-653, bromantane, and then I had some Lyrica. And some weed too. Coming off of what I think was Covid, and today was the best I've felt in about 5 days. The chemicals helped I think. :ROFLMAO:

Take a break really does help, 5 days is more than enough to get that tolerance down.
 
I'm prescribed 75mg capsules. It's fun to dose for a couple days, but you need to take breaks since the tolerance builds. I'll take it and take 2-3 days off and take it again at various doses. But I also take Kratom on days off so it doesn't bother me.
 
I also take Kratom
I do as well and take long breaks from gabapentinoids. Pregab once a month maybe and stopped the phenibut way back.
I do enjoy the buzz of a few hundred mgs occasionally. Nice to feel "drunk" and not drink. lol
Anyway ... thinking it's time for a cig and dose of bnz.
Best to ya.
Peace
 
So it's been a while and somewhere at the end of march or something just before my new FT job, I was in 3 withdrawals bupre, benzo, pregabs and that was not planned it happenned as dr. used her leave and the was connected in a longer holiday.

ah 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
I can't even imagine those azolam's like clonazolam or bromazolam, as alprazolam is a week thing as oppossed o it!
I hope you are doing fine??

So I was those 5 days and 5 days home thinking i can do this I'm a man well, fuck I thought to myself still I don't feel like I would kill myself, but again thought If someone was to walk in and said It's time for you to die and point it in my head I would be like I't must ve been that angels sent you just please do this or give me some drug!

I was convulsing than adding hellish migraine and hearing neighbours watch on the wall ticking seconds I emptyed myself meaning no more vomiting and no more diarrea had some loperamide and come paracetamol with codeine as it's OTC here than went straight to ER drove myself!, I advise not to drive but I had GF sitting next to me, so there they said why the hell you haven't been here 5 days ago?
Why torture yourself as they saw buprenorphine 2mg daily, pregabalin 150,150,300mg daily, xanax xr 2mg 0,0,1? and I said well I tried and I came!
but was out cold on sunny day, pale face, and there I layed as ER was frickin full of people and in 10 days I had my first seizure there in ER, well I thought I had one mini at home but waiting there for 5hrs to be given 5mg diazepam I said you asked me why I waited and now you but I saw that here there is shortage in good employees, staff like nurses, drs!

They said we don't have pregabalin here and no buprenorphine and they asked me what Should be the best should I stayed there as it was sunday or ? I said just write on paper that pharmacy can give me pregabalin but me paying the full price, which will be given back to me day later when my script went through! That helped!

So to this day I with Ketamine and MXE, with some Kratom powders couple bags of 100g green malay and one or two red vein went zero on buprenorphine and with diazepam when needed I wnet zero on benzos but....

Pregabalin is some shit out of this world i tell you all! I ordered Phenibut HCL as F-phenibut which I saw is fluorinated baclofen as it is but better as I tried baclofen to and it carries shittier comedown or rebound than phenibut..
But I can now go a day without pregabs and next day with 300mg and I cannot always get K as no more Phenibut well I can't find any as Liftmode won't ship it to CRO but even better.

as plumbus here stated
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.
I think Kratom helped as who knows to this day pregabalin is a very strange mofo: we all saw what went down in Ireland or NI Belfast,

And 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.

Maybe it's my fybro and two surgeries from playing football on my right knee and by back is only better as that tinituss(however it's spelled) as 5th year on pregabalin I think to myself well what the heck? OO and I have 72mg Concerta script for only ADHD on adult as I don't have other mental disorder as my therapist said which is me talking to her 5mins twice in last 36 days she laughed when I told her please don't forget to write on that Concerta script code for ADHD she said OO you have that actually and I said well pharmacist won't gave me if not listed and she wrote it and said deal with that fybro with orhoped and go to another MRI's and EMNG's and see ya in half a year!
 
Yeah I got lucky during a fent wd attempt about day 3 or 4 I was about to checkout of life(never would i. I’m too big of a pussy to ever do it but I say it to get my point across or maybe scare 1 person who reads this) or get high. I was so sick, stuck in a room at my parents house and they had no idea wtf I’m going through they just thought i slept a lot and was on my phone cuz I am just a crazy tard when I’m in withdrawls, I just let my head wonder off sometimes it’s just the anxiety that needs to chill to be able to get through being sick, I went on a mission to check my old script bag I had when I took care of my dad for 2 months when he had a 5way bypass and needed time to get better. Anyways, I also had norcos that he was prescribed and I was hoping maybe I forgot one, even tho I was 100% sure I didn’t I just said
Fuck it I’ll look, I found a few gabapent and took them, so 3 300 mg and I also found like almost 60 pregabas and looked them up and some doc said they are the Budweiser of opioids which I was like yeah ok, I took 400mg 50mg pills cuz I always think shit during wd doesn’t work and those fuckin things were great. It’s hard to not take them when you are not feeling wothdrawls. I sadly went out tho and broke the 4 day clean to get some blues to mix and party once more cuz I felt like I had the magic cure of wd, I ended up taking a few more days of ill start tomo syndrome but I tried to quit and used them, my tolerance went up crazy fast from just taking 800mg within 3days, the 2nd day I was still feeling them from the night before and I didn’t even go or need to get blues that 2nd day the high to got from them helped me sleep for a few days, I also wanted to try to withdrawal and take the pregaba with enough sleep so I didn’t feel like a fucked up idk how to explain it but it was stilll hard to get off the fent but using those pregaba which I thought was better than gabapentin idk why why but the pregaba seemed to get me high faster than gaba and also slower tolerance build up, gaba took forever to hit and feel like your doin better than it also sucked even when I took an insanely amount during peak wd like day 3-4-5 one of those days i think it was day 3 cuz the craving to go get somthing to feel bbter was up there so I took 3000mg of gaba and it just was okay, wasn’t trying to get High off it cuz I knew I was too sick I just wanted to B able To sit
Still and my anxiety to think of addict ways to get money and stuff would stfu for awhile lol
 
It’s strange I can do 900mg every 2-3 days and have the same effects from a 1800-2100mg dose once a week. Did that make sense?
 
Take a break really does help, 5 days is more than enough to get that tolerance down.
If ghostfreak says tolerance goes down in a couple of days, I believe him! While I have never taken these things daily, I suspect the tolerance portion is a lot like THC. It goes away with just a few days of abstinence.

Why thank you! Haha. Extended breaks are good but sometimes after a few days I just need something to take the edge off. Even smaller amounts (600-900mg) makes me a bit wobbly but anxiety is totally gone which is amazing.

Maybe I should do a longer post about Pregabalin and its uses and effects?

Anything you type is of value GF. You certainly know pregabalin. And it shows occasional use keeps the effects fresh. Although my high end with this stuff is 300 mgs. And I end up taking gabapentin over the pregabalin I have. But hey if it keeps tolerance low I am all for it. I use to take gabapentin like twice a week a few years ago. Now more like twice a month. I think gabapentinoids can be very useful substances. On occasion I treat them like any other special drug.
