I've been having horrible nightmares too very traumatizing whenever I don't take my lyrica. Super fucked up night mares it's hell to wake up in the morningI had a 2g a day addiction to Lyrica from December 2015 to February 2016. I gained 30 pounds and I am still messed up. I quit in February and am still having withdrawals. Is there anything I can do?
The worst part of my withdrawals are the absolutely psychotic nightmares I have. Does anyone else have these? The nightmares are vivid and full of every fear imaginable. Sometimes I get strangled, beaten, and tortured. Something like Zopiclone stops them, but tbh I don't even need sleeping pills. I fall asleep just fine. It's the nightmares that fuck with me. I have a few a week. It honestly makes me anxious to even sleep. A recent one I had, there was an earthquake going on and I had to escape my home. I died multiple times, each time 'respawning' in my bedroom and having to try and escape again. It was horrible. I felt my body being crushed or my head being smashed with a wall. It was insane how vividly my brain made it feel.
I swear my head's messed up for good now.
Go by how u feel. Rule of thumb is to wait 2 hrs to see how u feel. So dose 600 mg, wait 2 hrs to fully kick in then increase gradually with smaller dosages just to be safe. I know I've taken too much when I feel wasted / dru k outta my assI have just recently been prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain in my neck/shoulder that radiates down my arm and into my fingers...I was prescribed 75mgs 2X a day...I started taking it as prescribed...and it was good...really really good...so I took 3 pills at a time...omg...it was amazing...so calm...so relaxed...no pain...it was comparable to weed to me...except no fuzziness...I don't get sleepy on it either...so I've gone through 56 75mg pills in about a week...so I went back to the doctor today saying that the drug was working but wore off too quickly...so he gave me a prescription for 150mg 2x a day with 5 repeats....I pretty much kissed that prescription when I got it and said "you beauty"....this drug makes me feel amazing...I love not being in pain....I love not having anxiety...I love this drug....but I'm worried...I'm worried I'm addicted...I'm addicted to how good it feels...should I stop...I feel like I should stop...but it's helping me...I also really love weed but my partner is very anti-weed...but is pro doctor/pro pharmaceutical and this drug mimics weed to me...I dunno what to do...I know I should just take it as prescribed but it keeps calling me...I love it
Today I've taken 600mgs and I'm gonna take more....
Also...how much is too much? I don't want to OD...but fuck it's fun
I took a week off and when I used I took 1/3 of my prescribed dose and hit me good. The only reason I'm able cold turkey is because I don't have any serious responsibilities to fulfill atmAny noticeable difference? Doubt it given the doses you have previously taken, but I've read other posts that say a break as little as a week,(almost there, can help with tolerance to lyrica.
Don't be too hard on yourself, as you say, you had stuff to do, & doing anything while in wd is close to impossible.
Tomorrow's another day, just pick up where you left off m'k?

anyone done this?Hi im new to this. So im just wondering if anyone has taken 1200mg Lyrica and 450gm of Tramadol or something close to this dosage. I have a high tolerance to both these tablets. I sometimes takes a high dose of lyrica. Sometimes up to 1400mg. I get twitchy, fall down, jittery and occasionaly have seizures. But the high feels good. I gets chattery and and wants to socialise. It really takes my anxiety away .tonighy i took 450mg of Tramadol and 1200 mg Lyrica. I realises i shoud of taken a lower dose of tramadol . Im starting to get jittery and i fell down just before. And im twitching. Which always happens when i takehigh doses.
So has anyone done this? Should i be worried. Keeping in mind i have been taking these tablets for a good while. But never done tramadol at such a high dose before.
For those using pregabalin for pain,- I just saw a new PM dr who says amongst themselves lyrica is the biggest con-markerted med on the market , that only one outta seven with neuropathic pain get analgesia from it.
I take it for recreation, so what would I know.. Anyone care to chime in ?!?

^I take quite a high dose of lyrica & previously Gabapentin & it helped immensely with the shooting leg pains I experienced at night in bed.
Thankfully those times have passed & I now just take it prn.
Clearly though, it's been mass marketed with kick backs for prescribing drs with sales at a record high. Pretty much every pain dr has their patients on it.
