Might die of overdose please help life or death situation

[LifeOrDeathSituati]

The past 2 night I have taken 4000mg of lyrica. I have a high tolerance due to taking gabapentin for a while. Tonight I had 4650mgs of lyrica left so I said fuck lets take it all. I ingested them around 2AM or 2:30AM. Then I laid down for like 10-20 minutes and said FUCK IM HAVING SURGERY AT 11:30AM! I immediately when to the bathroom and made myself throw up but not even one pill came back up. I am worried that whatever anesthetic that is going to but used for my shoulder surgery might react with the lyrica and I will die on the operating table. Please help me I dont know what to do and I am so fucking scared that I want to cry.. Please help me someone.. If youre able to help please leave information not just a "youll be fine" or a "youll die" please also tell me why. Thank you!!!

OK, I really don't know if you would die or not, but there is no need to panic. What you need to do is tell the anesthetist when you go in for surgery what you have done. They may reschedule your appointment, or they may be able to proceed. They are specialists in this and they will know exactly what is safe and what isn't. I know it will be hard to admit to a doctor that you have taken drugs, but they won't tell you off (or not much) and you aren't gonna get reported to the police. At least not in the UK (presume it's the same in most countries, but you should check). The one thing you shouldn't do is go and not tell anyone out of pride, your life is worth more than that.

I agree my life (any life) is worth more than pride. Although I wouldnt tell my anesthesiologist that I took a ton of lyrica Id just go in saying that I was throwing up all last night and that I feel horrible. They wont do a surgery if the patient is sick. But the thing is I really need this surgery to be done ASAP if I wasnt such a piece of shit fuck up I might have remembered before I took 4650mg of lyrica that I have a fucking surgery in 10 hours. Ugh my mother will be so fucking disappointed if this gets out. Her heart would break. Please some give me some facts or info on lyrica interactions with anesthetics (Ive read everything on google wasnt much help). Hoping to find someone who know about what receptors lyrica effects and what receptors anesthesia effects and if and OD is possible from mixing the two. Thank you!

Ok, both Pregabalin (Lyrica) and Propofol (most common general anesthetic) work (in part) by modulating GABAgenic pathways. Lyrica also decreases nor-adrenaline which will play a role in keeping your body working under anesthetic. So I'd say they are pretty strongly counter indicated unless you have an anesthetist there who knows what they are doing and what you are on. I'm sure they deal with this problem often with people who take prescription Lyrica. Just tell the anesthetist, they won't tell your mum (they arn't allowed). What have you got to lose?

(If you are in the US are you worried about health insurance not covering it or something?)

Your mother will be utterly crushed if you exspierience complications or death from a drug interaction.

You need to inform the team thats going to work on you. You need to reality up here. Your thinking on this is skewed and certanly seems to be addict thinking. Your a great person with a substance abuse condition. Throw all the guilt and shame out the window. It is not justified does nothing positive for us.. makes us misserable and drives us to use and seeks to keep us isolated and alone so we cant get support and help in confronting and addressing the situation.

Your thinking is way off. Your contemplating taking the chance of not telling the surgery team that you took this because you worried your mother will not dig whatever opinions people may have if they find out you have a substance issue.

Fuck what other people think and say. Realy fuck them.. this world is full of judgmental long winded ass clowns who gossip of others struggles so they can feel comforted in there own "superiority."


You are thinking of possibly risking your life because you do not want any little "flaw" to be on you or your family.
Ill let you in on a little secret.. we are humans and every single one of us is a mess.. the more perfect a person of family seems and acts the more utterly wacked and messed up they will in reality be.

Quit holding yourself up to perfection. . The standerd of a God.. we are humans.. we all fuck up and we all make mistakes and plod through the mess we all make. This is life.. billions of beautiful idiots all pretending and acting like we are perfect and so are our lives.

Give yourself a break. Its got to be such a bourdon to keep the pagent of perfection running all day everyday. Come join us humans.. we are all a mess, but thats ok we do just fine.. yeah we make mistakes and act like clowns all day long. Its just what we do. Its what we are suposed to do. Its how we learn. Its how we evolve and grow stronger.

Please quit holding yourself to the standerds of a god. Doing this has to be such a drag. Please just tell the team what you took. There no shame here.. everyone ob that team has done sonething utterly silly stupid in the last month.. we are humans its just what we do.. so yeah join the rest of us clowns and accept the fact that your not perfect and this is not only normal but desirable. Shit we make tons of mistakes and thats how we learn and exspierience life. We just need to find the courage to look our blunders in the eye and deal with them. When we di this there is no need to ve hard on ourselfs.. blundering around making mistakes and learning from them is enough to deal with, so there is no need to drive ourselfs nuts with sone insanity that we should not be doing this, because perfection is what we should be in order to feel good about our lives and ourselfs.. na na thats not life.. its a never ending string of lessions learned through a few good choices mixed in with infanite mistakes.

Just tell them whats up and proceed in the best possible way from there.

It will be all good and its tge only way to promote your safty.. see we want you around for many more days filled with mustakes and blunders.. as thats how we get our wisdom.
