Hi everyone I have been here before with name blimey Charlie but forgot password and can't now get to that email addy . Anywa back then I was trying to withdraw and got to five weeks realtionship broke up and u got it I reached back for oxy. Yet agin got up to stupid amounts. And well I'm now on week 5 of second time and even my brain seems different this time. After the last wd I was sacred. Thought I was dying. Oh it all started due to back trouble I broke back and next thing u no I'm addicted to Oxys?? and I'm a middle aged woman who has top job kids in uni and my doctor boss is my friend ! So I defo couldn't go to my gp about this. Anyway that's bit of back ground . Anyway I went to docs said I wanted to ease of meds. So he said he heard that lyrica helps also with opiate wd as he said I might suffer from it due to what I'd been on. Little did he know id also been buying it so was on treble amount he thought and he said it was also for my back. Anyway I looked it up seen it was on this forum and seen it might work for wd. Bouns I thought lol Id give it ago. So week before I stooped i weaned down then come the Monday I took first just 75mg if lyrica. 2 parocetomal and 200 mg naproxen. I was like I said scared due to last wd. But I got nothing no wd symptoms at all!!
Took that amount for two days two or three times a day. Then third day I took 150 mg of lyrica and same again with others. No leg pains not sweats or sneezing I always sneeze when wd ?? Or tummy pains. Nothing at all. I was shocked kept thinking it gonna come but it didn't !!! Second week I went up again another 75mg. But still nothing no wd symptoms nothing.
Now I'm not saying it will work for everyone else but along with vit c and food baths etc im now on week 5 and as I said for some reason I'm not even thinking of oxys which for me is crazy as I been on them years.
Or shud anyone take these amounts of lyrica. Always start small of course.
But if this is anyway helpful for anyone else going through wd.
