Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

There isn't a way to directly potentiate pregabalin.

I mean you could combine it with phenibut, gabapentin or even benzos, but this wont result in the potentiation of pregabalin. Instead you'll just experience additional effects from the combo.

I once had a 900 mg per day pregabalin prescription (3 of the 300mg capsules). There was no good reason for me to take it, i just sort of convinced my psychiatrist it was a good idea. The effect of the pregabalin was very unique; I would take the 900mg all at once in the late afternoon (around 5pm) And it would produce this weird sedated mania, with some empathenogenic qualities. It had an unusual nihilistic headspace where nothing mattered And that was okay because nothing mattered. It killed any ambition i had in life due to this existential mindset. Once i finally quit pregabalin, along with some other psychiatric medications I had no business taking (like huge doses of pregabalin and the antidepressant mirtazapine), i felt suddenly awakened and had urge to do something with my life. Not long after I applied to graduate school and was accepted, thereby moving forward with my life.

While phenibut and gabapentin have ambition killing effects, they do not produce a headspace like pregabalin, which is almost psychedelic like at high doses. And I have never felt much of a high at all from phenibut or gabapentin, although both can produce a similar mania, and phenibut has some music enhacing effects. But pregabalin was very different, producing both a high and unique mindset.

Xanax doesn't have a super long half life, but still that's a lot to take and it may have built up in your system more than normal and be there for a minute. I would probably wait at least 12-18 hours after you last dosed Xanax before taking any more sedatives.

Those aren't super high doses for the lyrica or baclofen, so as long as you're sticking to that you should be ok.
 
Thanks for the help, to be safe ill tough put the leg pain until my shift starts tomorrow then ill use the pregabalin. I think i have a fast metabolism atleast for benzodiazepines, xanax for me starts working in less than 30 minutes, sometimes much quicker if i chew them, but the myorelaxation only lasts a couple hours, so i redose often. Your right for sure, that the duration of action isnt as long as the halflife so it probably compounds on itself.
I receny (10 days ago) blacked out hard on GHB because i forgot i took baclofen and robax hours prior (i take them almost daily for muscle pain, i work in labour and am not as strong as i used to be)

Well unexpected things just happend, i slipped into psychosis again and injected narcan because i beleived a street chick sold me laced drugs, despite having no opioid like effects whatsoever i was terrified about (not dying) but how hospitilization would further alienate me and id lose my job (i was psychotic the day of this manic mishap because of bath salts and self destructive sort of muscle memory) i took one quarter xanax and dustings of a 75mg lyrica intravenou 5 times at most 3 atleast and it was stupidly just shots of dissolved tablet filtered with cotton and now i have what i can only describe as chronological dyslexia, i can not put together a timeline of what events happened in the order they happend regarding the last 4 days, i also had the worst panick attack of my life and was calling hotlines for 6 hours to ground myself from a full psychotic crack up.
It took 8 hours of staring out blinds and calling hotlines before i could man up and find my abilify, was this because of my spontaneus benzo and lyrica abuse, or did the un needed narcan trigger my psychosis

Jeez. You gotta put the needle down, at the very least. Being safe and sanitary is the last thing you're thinking of when you're twacked out on bath salts. I've definitely been down that road, but it doesn't end anywhere good. Get back on your abilify and get some rest, eat some food, drink some water.

For right now, don't worry about everything you did. That will come back in time. Just keep yourself safe and rest, that's what you need right now. If you can try and recollect exactly what it is you took, that would be a start.

Im back on the abilify and still hearing police/ acusatory conversations everywhere around but i fail time and time again to learn from my mistakes, this time i might actually need inpatient but i need to escape my life and break free from this constant paranoid angst

That is a really hard cycle to get out of. I've definitely experienced powerful delusions first hand, and there are few things as painful as struggling to distinguish what is real or not. Try something, anything that can just ground your senses. Something to take up your attention. A movie is the first thing that comes to mind, but it can be a game, anything like that, that will will take up your focus a little bit.

Do you have any stronger antipsychotics? Seroquel, something like that? There is no shame in going to the ER if you have to.

Thank you for your kind words, my girlfriend is on the way to my place to keep me company and i would have taken olanzapine or thorazine but i wanted to still be able to make love when there is an oppurtunity. I stopped hearing the voices and feel less afraid right now.
 
New users should start slow. First time I took Lyrica (100mg) I was in a state of panic for hours. Clonzepam didn't even help.
Most don't have that reaction but be careful because it does effect some people like it did me
 
Im still having psychotic symptoms after a single dose of 150mg lyrica and in a delusional haze beleived a fellow street walker dosed me with pcp and fentanyl and robbed me because he thought i was an undercover (this almost certaintly did have some grounds in reality as im missing some clothes, and my debit card and cant remember 12 hours after i asked the dude if i could bum a cig.
But thinking i was fent poisoned i injected narcan 3 times and ever since ive been experiencing the overwhelming and vivid feeling that everyone can read my thoughts by making eye contact, and they know im a junky and want to hurt me. I can tell myself its all in my head and take my abilify and seroquel but the fear is real fear despite its artificial birth into my nervous system. I see people who love me and thier eyes strike fear into me i cannot ignore. Is it because of taking narcan with no opioid use for the prior 4 months?

How long ya been up? I don't believe it's the Lyrica at play here (could be wrong) but what else do you currently have in your system ATM?
Get plenty of fluids (optimally clean water), focus on breathing and try to stay calm.
If shit ain't right call 911 or the equivalent to where you may be located.
Keep updating please.
Thanks and best wishes,
J

Today i thave 150mg lyrica 10mg ariprizole, 100mg of 3f-PihP IV not all at once, and i slept 8 hours last nihght because i shot up that evil "sleepy meth" and i know im bad with drugs, i hate my maximalist aproach to pushing my limits i hate myseldlf for it.ive been hallucinating police all day out my window, just the lights but the audio hallucination of pained screams and deviant suggestions to hurt my ex with violenve is terrifyingn
My amnesia from my episode is genuinely so extrem i cant remember october to febuary, let alone when ive slept in the last 7 days, but i think i slept 18 hours within that time but monday i was shooting 'meth' in the port a potty and it only enduced paranoia and persecutoey delusions.

This is concerning to me.
Can you see a doctor, therapist or if you are open to it maybe a rehab stint?
I just dont wanna see a "bad" outcome. Seems you're red lining already. No judgement just trying to keep the motor running....
Give it a break...? Get some food and nap in as soon as you can. Stay hydrated, yeah?
Peace
 
I took more abilify and im not hearing voices or see people.but i feel truly retarded and paranoid, clumsy awkward and dysphoric. Its lose lose situation.
Cant make sence of my real life any moore
 
This is concerning to me.
Me too.

Bluecollar, the goal is to feel centered, clear, healthy and aware in order to be the captain of your own ship. Feel better, and when you make sense of your life come and clue me in. There really is no glaring sense. All you have to do is be present. The biggest gift to all. Come back in the next days and make us feel better after you feel better.
 
Edit: my day got bright and god is in my sould tonight, just found a fuckin vyvanse in the elivator, its more than a high chance of not being adulterated, and i need to be happy about this cuz my girl would NOT be amused

Edit: sane sober safe and sound after mirtazapine and sleep stopping my mania in its tracks and the shame of reading all the wierd shit i sent evreyone in psychosis that im officially committing to outpatient counselling with daily talk therapy while still taking antispychotics and focusing more on the future and maintain my priceless relationship, i dont want to still be injecting shit like lyrica and eating pills off the ground when raising my future family.
