Like 2 days lyrica then 2 days lamictal since i heard lyrica builds tolerance fast and loses it fast also .

So question is lamictal cross tolerant with lyrica and will using lamictal make me build tolerance to lyrica or is it okay to rotate them ?

Lamictal won't build a tolerance to Lyrica, but it has no recreational value and the therapeutic value is cumulative. There's not much point taking it for two days and then stopping.

What about topomax then with lyrica ? Will topomax build cross tolerance with Lyrica ? And is topamax cumulative or like lyrica can be used recreationally ?
 
Are you having trouble paying for your medication, or are you trying to not build a tolerance to your Lyrica so you can use it recreationally?

Second choice so i can use lyrica recreationally
 
Lyrica is a neuroleptic so you'd be best off staying in that category with something like gabapentin; however, there are drugs in other classes that are used to treat fibromyalgia (I assume that's what you're using the lyrica for?) like Savella, which is an SNRI. I'm on Savella and I love it personally, though I have to couple it with gabapentin and low dose naltrexone to keep most of the symptoms at bay. Still, this is dangerous territory to be getting into without consulting your doctor about it.
 
Im pretty sure theres no interaction my mom is put on both but you NEVER know how things might react with YOU cuz 99 percent of the people might be fine and 1 gets like prostate cancer gotta chack for that especially if your on a few pharms

Correlation does not imply causation. tut tut.

This is not to say that mixing meds is a good idea, but attributing anything bad that may happen to that is just as silly as thinking nothing will.
