How does pregabalin compare to benzos

[FrogWarrior]

I've been real busy lately, college is nearly done but have a presentation coming up so I'm gonna keep the benzos I have (not much, but definitely enough for the presentation if I save them) for that since they enhance my ability to speak and make me more confident without giving me brain fog like other sedatives do. I'll need something to keep me calm while on stims in the meantime though, I have pregabalin, a little bit of clonidine, trazodone and mirtazapine. Obviously I'm not gonna combine all those at the same time, a tiny dose of trazodone takes the edge off anxiety but I'd prefer not to use it since I've been off it for months, I'd prefer to use pregabalin if it works, but in low doses (100 mg) it does nothing for me. What kinda doses would I need to calm my nervous system down. I need to keep the heart rate and blood pressure down, and want to counteract any anxiety and stress which is counterproductive.

Also, a couple of other questions:
1.) is there a way to counteract the brain fog?
2.) is there a more effective ROA than oral (which doesn't involve needles)?

If 100mg does not work for you I advice you to try 200mg instead.

1. Piracetam or other nootropics maybe. Otherwise, no.
2. No.

I'd take pregabalin any day of the week instead of a benzo if I need to speak in front of a crowd or something similiar.

Take pregabalin orally. For me it works pretty damn good for anxiety, but you need to know what dose is right for you. You don't want to get all fried on lyrica before public speaking.

Really, pregabalin works that well? I need to try upping the dose a bit maybe. I just did, 300 mg, I'm starting to feel a lot better. What doses do you all take to get good effects? Don't think it mixes too well with amps, not for me at least. Now that the amps are wearing off, I feel pretty good. How long do the effects last?
