Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

Gabapentin is mostly not used by the body and I think the highest one could expect from it is 30-40% (and that is with eating with fats and using other otc to help absorption) and piss the rest out. A waste of space and time, imo.
Pregab is very efficient and waste is very little. And if I had to guess 100 mg pregab would equate to 600+mg gabapentin as far as effects and the effects feels more "natural" for me on pregab than gabap... just my experiences with both.
 
oh i will dose 1.5g phen and pop a coupla three hundred mg of pregab but there is a weird timing thing with these two that has changed after a few years that I just hope they (peak) at the same time it got thrown off somehow. Like phenibut hcl: Used to hit in five hours like clockwork. Now it is 8-10. The other day I dosed and started feeling it in about an hour.
Pregab takes about three to four hours to start peaking so ya see where I was? I did was on purpose... i just said fuck it just dose as usual and whatever. weird.
kratom is about to be out of the equation as i am out and have dropped from 12-15g a day to like 5g a day scattered throughout. hasnt been to rough have to admit. barely notice. be out in maybe another day but not scared been through some rough shit, right? lol
Always
 
Anyone ever taken a high dose but using the low dosed capsules?
I've just got 67 x 25mg capsules, thats 1675mg which is an ideal if anything liiittle high dose for me, my sweet spots around 1400mg id say.
I'd like to take 1400mg so thats a LOT of capsules to swallow. Is there anything that i should be concerned about swallowing that amount of - whatever the capsule is made from-? Talking 56 capsules here lol.
It'll be on an empty stomach.
Thanks!

Oh yeah and they're all expired from 2019/2020 if that makes a difference to the capsules? I know it wont to the chemical itself, they've been stored well and are still in blisters.
 
You should be fine swallowing that amount of capsules, but I would also personally dump the contents out and swallow. That's just me though, you won't hurt yourself consuming it, it's just gelatin.

Honestly I would dump out the content of capsules and either parachute or mix with water and down it.

Cheers peeps.
I did think about emptying them into a drink but then remembered how the mixture went when i tried to IV the contents of 2 x 150mg capsules in 2.5mg water (didnt really dissolve into solution even with heat), plus couldn't be bothered to open up and empty that many capsules, it was annoying enough just popping them out of the blisters lol so ended up just eating them. It was fine 👍
 
yo i finally got my refill on this. pharmacy gives me three months at a time, which is actually a pain. my dose was recently raised to 150mg/day. of course that's not how i take it.

i get a visual effect from this. maybe because i am also on an ssri. brighter colors. empty space looks more significant.

I am trying to get the 3 month script cause i hate going to the drug store every month. the last time was supposed to be three month but they only had a 30 day. i called pharm today to see if they still had that 3 month script and they said no that it had to be refilled. glad i called as i had to call prescribing dr and get it there before the 6th.
got enough left but dont wanna get a buzz on til i got the other bird in hand, ya know?
 
Just got my lyrica the other day. It’s been great to have around to quell my anxiety and general pain. It’s one of the only substances I can use without running into issues of dependency. . Not sure why, but even after using it extensively for a month or two I don’t get agonizing withdrawals. Perhaps I’m uncomfortable for a few days, but that’s about it. Now if I use benzos for 2-3 days in a row my next week or two are wrecked with rebound anxiety and depression. I try not to use
It too frequently as it does reduce my cognitive abilities.

I ingested 150mg of lyrica and 45mg of adderall roughly 5 hours ago followed by 450mg 2 hours ago. When amphetamines are used in conjunction with lyrica all of its rough edges are smoothed out. It feels vaguely similar to the bursts of energy I get with ghb though more drawn out and subtle. These amphetamines have me bouncing around various threads on here like a pinball machine.

Does anyone have any input on pregabalin affecting sex? I took 300mg tonight and was bored so I hit up this super hot escort. I went for about 45 minutes straight and couldn't finish. In that regard it was almost worse than having sex on MXE. I mean it's kind of cool being able to go for 20-30 minutes but at a certain point you just want to finish. It's weird because phenibut was always quite easy to get off on.

How can I lay?
When all I do is play
the Spaceball Ricochet?

I concur with you on the amphetamine/pregabalin combo rounding out the edges of both.

1400 mg for me personaly is a lot.May be like a something big dose benzo?Toke small amounts when qutting benzos.It helps in that terms.Never affect me at much degree nerve pain which is supossed to do.Think eveybody different in some aspect
 
They do nothing for my pain or anxiety but when i tried to detox off of dope i would feel a bit of relief for an hour or 2 off of 50-100mg

150mg of lyrica? You might as well drink a cup of coffee and have a cookie.

I would say 300mg would be a good starting dose for someone not tolerant to GABAergics. Also, this isn't an anti-depressant, you don't need to wait a long period of time to feel its effects. We're talking about recreational drugs, lyrica takes a long time to kick in and that is 1-1.5hours oral. I have a mild GABA tolerance and find 900-1200mg a good dose but have taken 2400mg before and had fun so I wouldn't say you are at risk of ODing and having a bad time. In any case you sound like you would really benefit from some drug/lyrica education so read the lyrica/pregabalin megathread and whatever you can on here. The only real negative side effect I have experienced when you are at the 1000mg plus range is joint pain.

I would think 450 would be recreational for someone like you with 300 being conservative but hey if 300 or 225 (I gather you have 75mg tabs) even works for you then great. The problem with starting low is that the half life is 5-6 hours and it takes a while to kick in so by the time you wait and don't feel much then wait for it to kick in your system has eliminated a decent amount, so start somewhere reasonable. Definitely don't start below 200 and feel free to go up to 600.

When I was head in over drugs 75 mg hit me pretty hard.

That was after I had been into GHB, Benzo's an Kratom. Had even tried Phenibut. So not that that say's anything about another individual. As i took the next cap when the first kicked in. As it takes 1.5 to 2 hours to take effect ime.
 
Damn, even after a 2 month break tolerance seems to still be there a little bit. Though It may be due to the fact that I take 600-900mg of gabapentin daily. I get the 300mg pills so It’s easy to over do it. I need about 450-600mg to really experience it’s effects.

I work at a crisis stabilization unit that treats the mentally ill a couple days a week. Needless to say this job can be extremely stressful as many patients are prone to fits of violence induced by delusions. Lyrica has been very helpful in dealing with such an environment. I already have issues with incapacitating anxiety, so I’m glad I have these around to alleviate those dysfunctional symptoms.

I don’t know how Ken Kesey dropped acid at a psych ward. From what I’ve experienced here there is no way I could endure such an event and maintain my sanity.
