Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

^ Yeah, it gives the munchies worse than marijuana.

I'm about to taper my Lyrica. I'm taking 450mg a day (3 caps). Hope it won't be too difficult.
 
This is an interesting and useful drug if used sensibly. I think it's somewhat similar to GHB in its effects. GHB was a drug I loved during the noughties when it was legal, as it was very effective for social anxiety and made me pro-social almost.

Lyrica in my experience acts as a social lubricant like GHB and alcohol. Even a low 75mg dose can have quite an effect. It doesn't completely take away anxiety or make you pro-social, but it does help when speaking to people and making eye contact etc.. I have tried high doses, all the way up to the recommended max dose of 600mg. In my experience you don't get much from these high doses as it makes you too intoxicated and fucked up to function or even walk straight.

I have stopped using Lyrica lately in favour of Buspar and opiates, but I might start using it again as I have some left over.
 
^ ive heard buspar is mad weak, almost unnoticeable. lyrica is pretty effective in my experience. its like a weak benzo without the numbed emotions plus an actually effective anti-depressant without side effects. so far its been great to me in low doses as presscribe, daily.

dont want to spoil the fun but side effects will be there in the long run.
confusion, black outs, memory loss and unable to process information feeling dumb.

it loses it harmless status after a couple of months.

it seems there is no such thing as the wonder drugs but it would be lyrica if all those side effects wouldn't become more and more dominant after longer use.'

be warned this is a wolf in sheep clothing

This drug is amazing for the fact that I have never found any drug to completely rid me of anxiety (except phenibut but that was only after weeks of dosing daily). Even 75mg is enough for this effect but much better at 150mg. I can see it being very recreational however I wouldn't wanna abuse this one. I might have actually learnt something from phenibut addiction.
 
you're right Mr. L0cky skin, I have already confirmed that my recent anger-swings and paranoia/suisilly feelings are probabbely Lyric-related. BUD DAYM E son.

i mean...yeh. you're right.

the memory thing is also alrady apparent. its like...<flash> a whole new moment. how does it relate to the previous one million? Weird ass shrink-dink drugs. fucking nutso-sack Psych fuckers. man what a world. uuuugh,
 
Love Lyrica

I find 750mg does me quite nice. Very drunken feeling with a bit of euphoria. Its a high dose but im about 290 lbs and not an amature.
 
I have no tolerance to Lyrica, I'm 6 ft and 200 pounds, what would 700 mg of the shit do? would i pass out/black out? Could i control my self and nod out like on opiates? I have a natural tolerance to medication, like the first time i took xanax it was 3mg and the first opiate it took 40mg.

If you don't have any tolerance to it, 700 mg would probably put you to bed. Really I doubt you'd need more than maybe 150 mg of the shit your first time. Try that as a starting dose and work your way up, remember that it takes a couple of hours to kick in though.
 
700 will have you feeling really, really drunk without the nausea. i suggest 300-450mgs for your first time
 
first time i would say 300-450 mg max.

700mg prob will make you feel fine but it doesn't add much other then tolerance even 450 mg i wouldn't advise for tolerance for a first time user.


its one of that type of drugs that is hard to go back to a small dosage again the higher you go the less effective it becomes overtime.
 
Stopped pregabalin daily intake (450mg/day) cold turkey, and the mighty weed proved itself very useful to stop the thing. No major withdrawals.
 
I took 300 mg last night and didnt feel shit, woke up today and now i feel really weird and cant walk good. Its kinda annoying my girl keeps asking me if im drunk 0.o
 
300 mg is best taken when on a empty stomach to maximize its effects (although 300mg works well for me even when eaten although i nowadays never take more then 150mg)

The not walking straight thing is one of the effects lyrica has on people but there should be at least some kind of body buzz / happy feeling along with it.
take into account that it can take up to 4-5 hours to feel effects when there is food in the stomach/system.
So prob the drugs kicked in while you where sleeping.

for me most of the time i get a motivational / energetic feeling with a weak body buzz.
its def a weird drug with a lot of potential outcomes on the effects (sedate, hungry,energize,happy thoughts ,groggy,frustration etc etc
some days the drug seems to barley work other times i am sky high
Its def. not for everyone.

I found that redosing the same day doesn't do much to anything .


So far the few friends of mine that tried lyrica all got a nice buzz from 150 mg there first time and experienced it as very pleasant.

i would say if 450-600mg doesn't give pleasant effect its not for you i wouldn't experiment with much higher.

Yea im going to snort like 200mg to see if its different


that shit fucked up my life, career and who knows what else it will do

No it didn't, don't blame your sorry ass problem's on drugs. It was your fault.
 
i started using lyrica because i got a script for my chronic pain after a bicycle accident a couple years ago

it helped a ton with my pain but i also experienced a nice high next to it.

i had to tapper down and quit after almost a year use because the side effects became worse and worse (even on 50 mg)
i became too confused to function and had a hard time remembering anything.
it made thinking impossible.

Doing things without even knowing you did them can be quit scary.

talking to people also became harder and harder sometimes, making words up i wasn't planning to say or don't make any sense.

it can def fuck you up even without abusing it in the long run.

nowadays i use 150 mg once or twice a week from what i have left over from my script.
it seems the only way to use it now to get most of the good benefits (pain relief , subtle high)
without to much of the negative side effects
