Lyrica for Speech

[Michael_25]

I have a speech in front of a large audience this Friday. The only drug I have left is Lyrica. Does this stuff work well for things such as public speaking?

Actually, my first few experiences with Lyrica were very, very nice and really took myself out of my head, so to speak, working at least just as well as a benzo. But, with Lyrica use, a rapid tolerance to these effects, and the euphoria of the drug, ensues. I do not know if you have ever taken Lyrica before for an extended period, or any tolerance you might have to it. If not, I would try 50 mg, or so, about 90 min. before your speech. It might hit you a bit harder than you'd think, so make sure you are conscious of like not stumbling and falling down. Initially, for me, it was like a very long-lasting alcohol, without any of the negative effects of alcohol, with a very surprising euphoria and anxiety relief; but, unlike a benzo, my thoughts weren't too cloudy or like that typical benzo-blah feeling. I don't know what strength you have, and like I said I don't know your tolerance. But, with very little or no tolerance, I'd say give 50 mg ago. I said give it 90 min. because it can kind of creep up on you, and even has a very nice, yet quite modest and manageable, psychedelic feeling about it. It isn't like I was outright tripping, but I suppose it was like a hint of that coming from a nice, clean, and fun sedative.
