Misc Lyrica + Alcohol = Blackout?

[Michael_25]

I visited my Mom on V'day to say hello. Anyway, over the course of the evening I consumed 12 beers. I also took 750 mg of Lyrica. Anyway, I pissed in the kitchen draw and urinated all over the cutlery. Mom saw it and said "What are you doing?!" Then she told me I mumbled some gibberish and proceeded to piss in the kitchen sink. I have NO recollection of this at all. I've had 12 beers before and never suffered a blackout. So could the Lyrica be responsible for this? I've read the side-effects regarding Lyrica but it mentions nothing about amnesia. Mom told me all this today. Fucking embarrassing.

It could be due to alcohol induced amnesia which lyrica potentiated. 750mg is a pretty hefty dose to take. It is known to potentiate alcohol and almost everything else too.

Beer is extremely diuretic and you took them together with 750 mg of Lyrica which made it stronger..

Yes, obviously this is due to the strong dose of lyrica and alcohol. They are contraindicated. Be careful when mixing as yes you will get extremely fucked up. I'm prescribed 800mg of neurontin 4x a day and parachuting ~800mg of lyrica on a slightly acidic, empty stomach still rocks me even without alcohol. Be careful drinking on that dose... Pregabalin has a very high oral BA and kicks in fast.

Haha that's a funny story. You should add it to the 'embarrassing things you've done under the influence' thread over in Drug Culture.
