Hi. I was prescribed lyrica at 600mg a day by my gp. I’ve never taken it as prescribed. I would take about 1000mg a day. Sometimes even 1,500 but not every day. My prescription would last about 3 weeks or so and I’d have days off but as you know with lyrica Pregabalin you need to take nearly double to get the same feeling if you take it days in a row.
Well I’ve recently discovered how terrible this drug is. I’ve gained 20 lbs in 3 months and would go days and days without eating. My sex drive has went to zero and I’m trying to just get rid of all the drugs I don’t really need. My mental health is a mess. I quit a heavy oxycodode (real not fent) habit a couple of months ago also. I’ve taken Kratom but not for the last month and also take suboxone a few times a week.
Also on Klonopin which I try to take as prescribed. I’ve been on that for about 3 years and up until recently I would run out in about 2 weeks sometimes less.
But back to the lyrica. After 5 weeks of stopping it my appitite is at basically zero. I have server anhedonia and depression. Anxiety that is unbearable and body aches and pains. Also extreme fatigue. Should lyrica still be making me feel this bad after 5 weeks? Is there anything I can do to stop this? Am I almost at the end of it? Is it even lyrica causing these problems. I’m so depressed anhedonic and suicidal I don’t know what to do and I’m scared. I just want off all these drugs and live a normal life.
