Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

I fucking love this drug. It's cleaner and more euphoric than alcohol/G, way more intoxicating than benzos, and gives me great visuals as well. Like, with closed eyes, 3D webs of yellow and red and green. Vivid stuff. Anyone else get anything visual from this? I mean, not like blurred/double vision, but trippy stuff? I think it's probably just an idiosyncratic reaction and that I'm really lucky.

lmao vader, i remember when you first tried it and you were like, "this drug is alright, nothing special."

the colors on lyrica are amazing i have to agree. everything looks just so, alive...
 
Yeah, I tried it at 400mg and at that dose it is nothing special, 600-800 is my sweet spot.
 
After Several weeks of experimenting I've found It best to give it AT LEAST a week between goes. Ive tried giving it just a few days break and then a few days more and what you get from Pregabalin definitely goes down hill fast even when increasing the dose. Unless of course giving it a good 7 day break and going back to it.

I was new to this and initially started off experimenting at around 600mg. IM now up to taking 1500mg but take it through the course of 3-4 hours. IT takes a good few hours to start feeling the effects (in a real sense) but by the end i would say that im off my head on this stuff. I normally take 600 to start and add a 3oomg every half hour/45mins or so. Done this way and its a night in in its own right lasting hours and hours and hours. The amount of time it lasts is like nothing else I've ever taken.

I have had some visuals and music too is very enjoyable. I've seen things in the darkness but my favourite is getting the visual effects up on the windows media player and staring into the crazy psychedelics. Strangely fascinating!!

That's what I thought at first, especially if you just use it once a week, though taken every 2 or 3 days it also gives a pleasent effect (something between therapeutic and recreational). But the effect of this drug has changed for me with time. After going through a horrendous 10 day WD which almost killed me I couldn't really get any effects from it anymore. Then after maybe six months time it started working again, cause I would keep trying it. Then after a little break the last time I took it it would just put me to sleep as soon it started to come into effect so I couldn't really get anything out of it.

I think my body doesn't quite know how to use this chemical. It probably doesn't see it as a beneficial thing, though I am confused how it can block the effects. But Lyrica is not very good for your body. It does more harm then we realise as it feels so harmless with no hangover or toxic feeling, but it screws with your nervous system pretty bad. It's a shame as it's also such a therapeutic drug, the best anti-deppresants or anxiety reliever I've ever tried.

But watch out what it does to you and try to avoide becoming dependent on this drug. I wouldn't really say it's not worth the WD, but it was still the worst experience of my life. Though when you taper down with Gabapentin you seem to be completely fine. Give it a month's time at least.

Yes. Or ghost-like figures in the outlines of your vision even. I have also had strange, dreamy experiences, like reading through a bunch of articles in a few short moments and absorbing lots of information (through my mind).
 
Haven't taken lyrica in a while, just got 300mg a day filled. Was thinking of doing 1200mg, I want some visuals. I take 4mg clonazepam every day and have taken all 4mg today. I know people say, and according to the facts, it should be true, that benzos and lyrica potentiate the shit out of each other. I have 16mg+ kpin I can use on whatever I want.

Should I go with or without the clonazepam, I want visuals and I was thinking the kpins would diminish the possibility of that, any recommendations? Cause I could go with 1200mg and a lot of clonazepam for a really good time and ultimate relaxation, or just the lyrica in just in hopes of visuals.

Too bad the clonazepam wouldn't have the possibility of increasing visuals. Also going to be smoking a lot of top notch weed.
 
I have been scripted 150 mg twice a day. I got to say it is very dynamic for my anxiety and aches from depression. I have yet to get tolerance from therapeutic use since it came out basically.

I only get the anxiety that was already there when i run out and can't afford my next script.

I get super smashed sometimes... 600 mg lyrica with liquor and 10 mg ambien... I couldn't walk. I had to sit. Every time I blinked, there would be the "geometric line tunnels." I ended up snorting some too.

I slept flawlessly.
 
Anyone noticed hair loss while on lyrica?? If so was it permenent or after stopping lyrica it came back? I noticed it as a side effect that I don't quite understand I know it is rare but still is it supposed to be permenent ? What if you dose once a week? I been dosing 600-2000mg for about 8 months mostly daily.
 
OMG u prefer shitty fuckin Lyrica over xanax or klonopin I have 2 or 3 bottles of Lyrica my ex left here i threw away if i have to take lyrica to get high ill just quit doing drugs
 
your gonna get a tolerance no matter what cycling just slows the progression of it but u can gain a dependance to benzos(ativan) in 3 weeks
 
This stuff sounds pretty interesting to me. Not only for the way it can enhance opiates but also in its own right. Although I read somewhere that you may need to take it for several days (a week -10 days) in a simillar way to SSRI anti-depressants for the substance to begin to take effect.

Is this true, or does it have more or less immediate effects ?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hello mate, you can feel the effects from the first dose, great for taking with opiates but keep the dose low. Really good for anxiety! I think they say 10 days full the full threputic effects to take hold
 
How would one use Lyrica to taper off of a benzodiazepine habit? Currently 60mg of temazepam (or 30-40mg of diazepam, per the charts) daily keeps me well, but that dose has been higher. I have a little over 12 grams of pregabalin at my disposal, and 24x10mg zolpidem just in case. 600-700mg of Lyrica is my usual tolerated rec dose, by the way. Also, has anybody noticed sharp kidney pains the day after? Every time I take more than 450mg at once they light up like fire around 24-36 hours later, without fail. Feels like two fireballs in my lower quadrants, and hurts like hell. Makes me jump from my chair, too. Anyways, I have no other option but to use pregabalin to taper off, and don't care about losing the 'magic' right now - benzo dependency fucking sucks.
 
Hmmm... I have 700mg of Lyrica from last year sitting in my drawer. I'm thinking about taking it after finals, early morning so I can enjoy the effects all day. I have 5mg diazepam and 0.25mg alprazolam; small doses of benzos are supposed to go well with it, and reduce seizure risk from a high dosage.

How should I take it? 5mg diaz and 700mg Lyrica in one go? Forget the alpraz?

How should I take it? 5mg diaz and 700mg Lyrica in one go? Forget the alpraz? i have taken rec. doses of 300-450mg before, mixed with 2.5mg diaz and a good amount of hydro (20mg four times daily).

Is it safe to take Kratom (maintenance; 1-2g) or tramadol (maintenance; 0.25mg-50mg) with it?
 
Yeah, I take tramadol with Lyrica everyday for fibromyalgia. It's a great combo and works amazingly.

As far as getting fucked up, it's safe to take the benzos with the high dose of Lyrica you're wanting to take. It's all good. You could take all that shit (the 700mg Lyrica, 5mg diaz, and .25mg alpraz) together. Those are not high doses of benzos unless you are very sensitive. You'll feel great but you may be kinda wasted (I suppose that's the idea, lol).
 
You could use Opiates to allow downtime from Opiates if pain is really bad and persistant (though remembering Opiates are one of the post addictive class of drugs. I find my opiate/ dependance/ daily use) helps prevent problems with Benzos. Am also on SSRI's.
 
I've dosed grams in the past and am quite familiar with the ins and outs of good ole Lyrica but does anyone else get a nice mood lift along with euphoria and energy from a dose like 100mg.... its kind of a surprise but without tolerance that's what I've been getting out of it.
 
Just thought I'd throw in some input as some people seemed to want to hear from Europe :), I'm from Ireland and am currently on 300mg/x2 Daily its for nerve pain that i got from a car crash a few years back i it mostly use to for recreational use's though. For my first time on the drug i popped 3x300mg Pills and still didn't feel much from the drug, i started building up pills when i didn't need them for the pain and tried 1500mg a few times gotta says its much better like this i didn't seem to experience what some people say they did off 150 and i took 6 times that first time :P Maybe i have some sort of tolerance though i wasn't on much drugs before
