I always found Lyrica much more recreational than klonopin.
If I had the choice between a 750mg dose of Lyrica vs. a few 10mg Klonopins:
Id take the Lyrica, everytime.
Also I think that the effects of Lyrica are safer than Klonopin because I remember takin Klonopin and just forgetting what the hell I was even doing, which is never good. That's never happened to me on Lyrica.
I WAS prescribed Lyrica & Klonopin. I had no preference but if I took more Klonopin I could get myself going. Once the magic is gone with Lyrica once you've been on it for over 4 months doses like 4 grams don't work. When I started Lyrica I would much prefer Lyrica but once it lost its magic I'd rather have Klonopin because it could still make me very comfortable and relaxed with a nice buzz.
Klonopin or Lyrica (with no tolerance) - Lyrica
Klonopin or Lyrica (with tolerance) - Klonopin
I was prescribed those two too. I agree 100% with K´d that at first Lyrica seems like miracle drug. Nowadays I use small doses of both (Lyrica 150-300mg, Klonopin 0-2mg). If I now had to choose between those I wouldn’t hesitate to take Klonopin, in fact if I could change things I would never even start taking Lyrica.
