My psychiatrist is fairly loose with prescriptions. I say that in terms of compared to the avg pdoc, especially considering he's young.

Regarding recreational stuff. I'm prescribed 20 mg of Ativan and 12,000 mg of Gabapentin per month. I also take about 8 grams of Kratom each week.

The 20 mg of Ativan lasts me 3 months. I'm bored of benzos unless I'm feeling particularly phobic.

Tldr I'd like to convince my doctor to prescribe me pregablin instead of gabapentin because everyone says it's so much more euphoric. How should I go about trying to convince him to switch me?

My primary illness that gets me drugs is panic disorder with agoraphobia.
 
Just say the Gabapentin doesn't work and he should "eventually" switch you to Pregabalin. Patience is key!
