Pregabalin (250mg) - New Experience - Doctor Rx'd dosage, WTF??

[Volcano]

Drugs taken:

1mg Klonopin (Needed for diagnosed atypical face pain, legal Rx)
1.25mg Xanax (Tapering off this but IOP Rx'd)

^--- I don't "get high" on that combo, I've been taking it for 6 months so I don't even feel the above medications. I have an unusual case of atypical face pain so normal opiates don't relieve my pain, but Klonopin which is approved for neuralgic pain works fairly "ok" in my opinion. The Xanax is a better boost but leaves me sleepy in the AM so I'm tapering off this.


So anyways, to the fucking point: I took the above medications along with 250mg of Lyrica (Rx'd as well, now that I have insurance I can try Lyrica instead of Morontin)

9:30PM: Take all the above, plus a multivitamin and a tagament hb 200 to potentate the benzos (I do this every night as well)

10:30PM: Feel good. Anxiety gone, neuralgic pain receding, getting into "bed mode" where I read or do something non-stressful for about an hour or two before bed.

11:00PM: Kinda feel weird. Woozy. Drunk. Some nights I take a shot of tequila with my pills but not tonight and I'm glad I didn't. Balance was starting to fade (like an oldschool 4-6mg xanax dose), didn't want to to do anything stressful. Not sleepy yet, but maybe could've gone to sleep. Play a single player match of Starcraft II on Casual (non-stressful) for about a half hour

12:00PM: I am fucked up. Like super fucked up. I never get this fucked up when I take just the Klonopin and Xanax. NEVER. Still not really sleepy.

12:30PM: Uh-oh. Now I can barely walk. Stumble to shower and catch a hot one before bed. I always shower before bed because it helps me sleep. Bumping around a lot in shower (glass doors so I wasn't going to fall out)

1:00PM: I am so happy to be going to bed. I am so glad I made it.



I always wake up 2 or 3 times during a 9-10 hour sleep to pee because I drink a lot of liquid and each time I still felt FUCKED UP. I could barely make it to the bathroom but I had no problems whizzing (some drugs do)

I woke up about 11:30AM still kinda woozy. Took a shower first thing followed by an awesome sandwich I made using the broil function on the oven (melts the cheese and browns the sourdough I use)

It's 1:30PM now and I'm still feeling some sort of effect.



The shit of it is -- neuralgic pain never went away completely. I could still touch my "trigger point" and it hurt. Lyrica is approved for "diabetic neuralgia" and some other similar but not "spot on" diagnoses so no shocker there.

I don't want to take it again at that high of a dosage. I'm going to call my doctor and figure something out.

dude your story is crazy. I've got neuralgic pain too and I take Lyrica & morphine. But I started at 50mg lyrica, and I was still in pain, now im at 75mg twice a day.

Your doc give you 250mg lyrica/day !? I once keep them to see if, it would kill my pain and eat 200mg and felt like you, drunk and uncoordinated.And it didn't really helped for the pain. I heard that higher dosage (~450mg) gives euphoria but I don't really care, I just want to find a good meds for nerve pain.

Can you tell me more about your Klonopin combo ? does it help `?

thanks

Yes Klonopin is approved here in the states for neuralgic pain.

I knew what to expect from it as I (ab)used it as a youth. It doesn't completely take the pain away but it helps with the constant thinking about the pain which helps the pain go down naturally

I would highly recommend trying it. Opiates get me high, but don't relieve the pain so I use them for fun....when I use them (not often)

I only got Xanax b/c it's easier to find on the street and then I found a good IOP with good prices to buy it from. Xanax hits harder but leaves your system faster. A good drug to take 2 hours before bed or 2 hours before when you WANT to go to bed
