Benzos Gabapentin / pregabalin versus benzos

I'd say benzos because pregabalin can turn me into a complete lunatic. Everyone is different and just be careful to not end up with a habit. Pregabalin is more recreational IMO, whereas benzos serve quite a specific function. Gabapentin I can't remember too well but it might be a middle ground - it didn't have that same mind-fuck that pregabs can have. in fact, I think it might the better of the three on reflection but this is based on limited experience. Where I've lived, pregabalin has been a street drug and benzos are always around of course, but gabapentin didn't seem to affect me too much. But I can't speak too much on that due to only using it a couple of times. Between benzos and pregabs I'd say benzos but please be careful of addiction.
Thank you
My thoughts exactly
 
Coming off Lyrica is some of the worst depression I have experienced

I have been using benzos on and off for 20 years.Valium, Xanax, clonozopam, lorezapam and tamazepam etc

Never really had any issues at all with benzos or craved them when im off.
I feel like how 'dangerous' they are is overhyped. That's just my opinion

Benzos are absolutely nothing like coke or meth addiction...for me anyway.
your lucky ive never had meth but had coke but not for me except on night out.for most long term benzo users quitting cold turkey is hell ,can you remember if when you stopped using benzos you were using any other drugs ,if not you are the very lucky few .you mentioned Pregabalin that can help with benzo wds for seizures and anxiety .it would be interesting to know .you say you never craved them when off .were you using any other substances ,you cantell me to fuck off if you like but i went through hell ,nervious breakdown the lot.thanks
 
I’m sorry to hear that. I take Lyrica for my neuropathy pain, and I start feeling the withdrawal affects when I’m overdo for my dose.
