First of all, I am an oxy/hydro user for about 8 years and have experimented with many other drugs. I'm currently on a dry spell, so I start looking feverishly for something to pass the time until my next refill. I find a post online about Lyrica (Pregabalin) having some recreational value. I get exited because I also get 60x75mg capsules a month and toss them in the junk drawer. I grab a handful and joyfully down them with some grapefruit juice!
It wasn't until the 45 minute mark that I began to feel some rather odd sensations. My body felt really warm and my vision was slightly blurring. I thought this would be the extent of it but I was oh so wrong. About an hour later the high finally hit its peak, if I can call it a high at all. It was nothing like taking an opiate, but oddly I no longer had any withdrawal symptoms. It was like mixing alcohol, without the fogginess, with a potent stimulant.
Before I knew it I was pacing around the outside of the house bumping into things occasionally and feeling great. I walked over to my neighbors just to talk because I was feeling very sociable almost like my inhibitions were gone for a while. I'm pretty sure he knew something was up because I was being super loud and talking really fast. I'm about 3 hours into my buzz and I'm still high as a kite. Vision is still blurred and my equilibrium is still off significantly. I head back to the house and decide to get a shower. The water felt amazing! It was like I could feel every drop hit me. I got out and grabbed some ramen. The food seemed to calm the effects down a little, but not a lot. I went to the bed and turned on some reggae while I laid down and just enjoyed the music. At about 6 hours in, I can feel the effects start to go down a bit and I slowly regain my vision and balance. I still felt the euphoric effects until I decided to go to bed for the night. I awoke to a slight headache, kind of like when you drink when you're dehydrated but a few asprin took care of that.
All in all not a bad experience for such an unknown (or underused I should say) drug. I have read that some people get little to no effect and are unimpressed but I guess I am one of the lucky few who can glean a good buzz off of this stuff. Good thing I have about a gazillion pills saved up from over the years! I will most definitely do this again. Its not something for every day, but definitely worth a try!

I absolutely love lyrica (pregabalin). One of the most euphoric highs I've ever had from a drug was on it. It combines sedation and stimulation, a body high that can be incredible, euphoria and increased confidence. Can't believe you just throw your monhtly script in the junk drawer! I can never even find the stuff. My advice is, don't take it multiple days in a row (that is if you're not actually taking it as a prescription, if you are, you should take your prescribed amount so you don't ruin it for yourself), and don't take it too often in general because you build up tolerance to the really good effects and it also causes physical dependence.
 
Ah shit, good luck man. I kinda wish I had the same, except I probably actually don't. I use phenibut which is similar except I find pregabalin superior, and I'm currently reducing my dose and going back to every 3 days instead of every other day because of some light physical dependence... I was an opiate addict for 10 years and am not anymore, and I hate that I have some physical dependence to something. I think I would find lyrica more compulsive than phenibut too... I feel pretty compulsive about stimulants these days, fortunately they're not physically addictive...

By the way, love the username, my email that I use for clandestine activities has the name Dirk Diggler associated with it. =D
 
I actually just ordered a package of phenibut after looking it up after I read your post. Looks like I could space the Lyrica and phenibut out to keep tolerance from getting too high. I read that it is kind of like Lyrica, but a cleaner, more focused feeling. I could go for that, as Lyrica makes me feel a little drunk in my experience. Thanks for the inadvertent recommendation!
 
Also have you tried Kratom? Its hands down the BEST thing to not only get you off opiates, but to keep you off. I went 2 years on straight Kratom to curve my cravings even after it helped me get off of 30mg x 6 a day Roxicodone habit. Its an all natural product and is basically OD proof and makes you feel great. To stop a tolerance from creeping up, all you have to do is switch strains every once in a while. I would probably still be opiate free and doing great if my state didn't outlaw it last year. Makes sense huh? Outlaw a plant in the coffee family that helps countless people get off and stay off of harmful drugs so they all have to go back to their DOC.
 
I was addicted to kratom for 7 years actually. It's a great plant, definitely better than opiates but I will say that by the end I had to take it 4 or 5 times a day, I would wake up at 6am withdrawing and have to take a dose to finish sleeping. The withdrawals were easier than full opiates (I've also been addicted to heroin and oxycodone and poppy tea), except the restless legs were much worse with kratom. It's definitely a great plant and shouldn't have been made illegal, and it definitely is great for getting off opiates, but it's an opioid too, it hits the mu opiate receptor and is an addictive drug. It does cause withdrawals and my mental addiction to it was very intense. I think it's wishful thinking to think it's benign, or that switching strains will prevent withdrawals if you use it too often. But it's a lot better than opiates.

But yeah you're right, it is OD proof, which is awesome. Definitely much safer than opiates.

Oh man I never even thought about Kratom giving you withdrawal. I guess anything you take for so long that effects the brain would. I just went straight back to the opiates so that probably explains why I didn't experience any.
 
Well not just anything, the reason kratom produces withdrawals is because it IS an opiate, since it is a mu opiate receptor agonist. It's hitting the same receptor that makes other opiates addictive. You won't get withdrawals ever no matter how long you take them from many things, but kratom produces them in the same way that opiates do. It probably produces dependence more slowly than a strong opiate, but it still does.
 
- Yeah don't take Lyrica (especially doses like that!) often, there is tolerance and ultimately withdrawals associated with them. I've had Lyrica withdrawals and they were pretty weird...
- Kratom is indeed an opioid and not to be fucked with, like Lyrica every once in a while is okay... well that is true for even similar harder drugs but I guess you can push these a little harder... yet a habit will still eventually fuck you if you come to rely on the pleasant or relaxing effects, and that can happen way too easily. People don't get addicted intentionally.

Having a pretty sweet stash like of the Lyrica is a really good way to get hooked on it... I have a script at a much lower dosage and that still pretty much gets me hooked. It's difficult to say to what extent it is worth it, but it does seem worth it for a good while. However: using it without a script is really not the same as with a script!!! You tend to get different patterns of usage...

Thanks for the advice for sure. Ive not had to abuse my meds or Lyrica for a couple of weeks because of the Phenibut._._oh and a health-conscious ammount of Ice shards lol. Phenibut is really great, but I can see its no miracle drug. Tolerance is starting to become a problem so im going from 4/7 days to 3 to be safe.
 
Phenibut eventually causes physical dependence too. I'm struggling with that now, I used it every other day for like 2 years and if I miss a dose I feel anxious, a bit sweaty, restless, can't sleep, and I get watery eyes and nose. Pretty uncomfortable, nothing like opiate withdrawal but not good either. I've recently mostly brought it down to every 3 days but the 2nd day is a little uncomfortable still. Trying to reduce to a level that eliminates physical dependence but I think I will just have to stop and take a long break.

I find phenibut and lyrica very similar, but lyrica is much stronger and more intoxicating (at non-prescribed dosages anyway, which is all I've tried it at, 300mg each time, tried it I think 4 times).
