Lyrica (AKA pregabalin) = Neurontin's replacement, BUT effects the same receptors much more potently and constantly because it has a different chemical makeup. (Search for yourself). Its no Lexapro/Celexa racemix type thing. This is the real deal :
Bizwire :
The Food and Drug Administration slapped Pfizer's new drug, Lyrica (pregabalin), which treats the pain of nerve damage caused by diabetes and shingles, with a "controlled substance" label, making it harder to prescribe. The FDA also rejected it for use in treating epilepsy. In September, the FDA rejected the drug for use in treating anxiety. It is now available in the USA for prescriptions. It was launched in Europe in July.
Search for yourself - reports on Yahoo, Google, pubmed etc for "pregabalin" or Lyrica. Lots of nice info, especially for real pain sufferers like generalized anxiety or fibromyalgia (GAD disapproved in US, currently in studies for fibro)
Drug is avail. in the UK as a non controlled substance for epilepsy also neuropathic pain and easy to get for off label stuff such as sleep or anxiety.
This drug is basically super-super-neurontin (different chemical formula THOUGH, similar/same receptor sites as neurontin though) Research indicates it is NOT addicting, and I know first hand, compared to benzos, it is a totally different type of experience, and don't even get me started when i actually did mix it with Xanax. EEEEK. Complete disinhibition almost , don't even want to think about the experiences I had that week!
I told you guys over a month ago my experiences and how this would be a very nice drug (and still IS!)
Nobody listened! Ole well. I am glad this can hopefully validate the non-neurontin believers because neurontin is crap for a lot of people, but Lyrica fixed that problem, just take 600mg+ or much more at once and you'll feel XTC smoothness of your whole skin and body (no pain), be benzo euphoriaed slightly, and have a very errily effect to GHB. Only at the non approved higher doses of course. BTW max dose daily is 600MG. Thats what i would start with, or taper up, be on the safe side. Just make sure to take em all at once. Anything above 1000mg is total bliss! I bet anything Lyrica will be either pulled off the market or slapped controlled substance in Europe as well =(
It has some legitamate uses as well, very effective for sleep, anxiety and fibromyglia (which it is in studies for currently). Increases slow wave sleep, which increases growth hormone. Dopamine flood over later.. (sound familar to any other drug, hint hint...?)
Read my other posts on it!
It feels VERY, VERY similar to GHB and/or XTC at higher doses or more like a freaky combo of both. More GHB, or some undescribable pain killer. Great for anxiety, sleep, motivation, you name it.
When i first took it, at slightly higher doses, my entire body was pain free (not opiod like at all though) but like, no nerve pain, i took a shower and like, everything was fun to touch and my body didn't feel "uncomfortable" from getting out of the shower into the cold, in fact, it felt like i wanted to dance, hence the XTC/slight stimulation at high doses. I could walk, drive and do everything straight, it didnt effect coordination like benzos , as much at least.. My eyes did get red though, nothing Visine doesnt cure.
Very VERY strange and cool very new medicine, anyone in Europe your doc may be able to prescribe it to you off-label for anxiety, as that was one of its original indications - GAD, in that study, it actually MATCHED or EXCEEDED both Xanax and Effexor separate and combined!!! Google this study for yourself. I could not believe it exceeding Xanax for GAD/SA/PANIC. From my experience, only the higher doses over 600+ do anything to recreational value, but many people here are probably different, so use caution if you get it.
I know I can't give sources here, sorry guys, but *it is out there* and fairly easy to get
High dosages for effects began after 600mg all at once. After this it is pure bliss. Lasts ALL day long. Very long half life or something. I take 1200 in the morning for example, and the entire day and night my life is wonderful.
I have experienced some tolerance, but not much. Also, UNLIKE benzos, it seems to be relatively safe to withdrawl suddenly which I did with no problems except little sleep for a few weeks... It totally effects GABA/Calcium flux differently and is highly unique. Not similar to a benzo really except for sedating and anxiety reducing issues (at the high dose's it is strangely stimulating like XTC like i said before..)
It is in the same class as Neurontin now. Some people say they get buzzed or high or whatever on Neurontin, well, try Lyrica 600mg+ at once and titrate up. For people where Neurontin was NEVER effective and crap - Lyrica has a specifically different chemical formula which states it will effect many more individuals than Neurontin did - due to absorption and other things I can't remember off hand.. so don't rule this killer drug out.
I am sure there will be others in the coming years reporting about Lyrica, I am glad I was one of the first to provide some information. If anyone cares, I did not originally intend to use it recreationally, but for my fibromyalgia which it has basically resolved.
