Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

Ok, I find the absolute limit is something like 0.5 mg Clona with 150 mg Lyrica (twice a day) and 150 mg Promethazine. I took this abouy 1 hr sgo ago and I hope it'll get me well through the night.
In case it doesn't work, I could add some low dose phenibut ot the mix...
 
Eek dropping 25%... I'd aim for less if you can supply it, but this is.. bad advice probably. Chip off 5%... coupla days, chip off another 5%... keep it steady... another 5. I dunno.
 
IDK about that. Dropping down 5% every other day sounds worse to me. It's a lot faster rate than 25% dose reduction and staying on it for 2 weeks before the next drop.
 
Thank's for all he support.

So I need .6 mg twice a day to feel "normal". As my Pregabalin has just been increased, I'll try to trop 25% and see hgow I feel. Hope the Pregabalin can mask or reduce most of the synptoms.

Start a moderate exercise routine. Focus on cardio at first.

In many studies exercise has been shown to promote faster up / down regulation of many receptors as you move back to homeostasis from a state of addiction.

Absolutely. I try to exercise at least every 2nd day.

I didn't expect the cravings to be so horrible, though. I mean: I came off diazepam, etizolam and alprazolam in the past, but had never cravbings like this.
 
Ok, guys, I slipped up tonight. Took something around 3.5 mg Clona at once (can't say exactly how much, but must have been 3.5-3.8 mg), 225 mg Lyrica (my regular dose is 150 mg twice a day) and prior to all of this about 2 g Phenibut, about 1 our earlier. I feel terrible, in some way, but of course it;s not a problem, all my fears, anxiety and lonelyness is gone. I sometimes think I might be os panicky bc I'm feeling so lonely, don't know. My Psych doc and GP know about my benzo habit and that it would rather help me to get clean pharma benzos at the right dose, but are not willing to prescribe anything in this regard (yet). Lucky enough I got lyrica and am up to my dose so quickly, considering I'm in the south of UK.
I guess as I have it in my system now, I shoiuld just enjoy the effects and not give so much thought about this mess, but try to be better tomorrow. Tomorrow will come. What do you all think?

Oh, I will be on the phone with my GP tmrw. She appreciates and rather rewards honesty. What should I tell her, you reckon?


Many thanks for yiour greatsupport! :giggle:
 
PS: The phenibut was meant to mask my mild benzo-wds, but it was, assume, the disinhibition of that which lead to the other stuff. NExt time I'll try Promethazine instead.

If the 25% drop seems too steep there's no reason to try a lesser amount.

Don't think it's to steep. I just bthougt the phenibut would helk, but ultimatelty lead to the opposite of what I was hoping it'll do, in the end.
And Why do ytou say that? Maybe 10% with some promethazine might be appropriate for me? Or whart about just cold wd with lyrica only? People slip up. I washoping you'll give me soime more constructive advice here, to be honest :( .

EDIT: Well, thanks for trying to help at alll, though. Thanks.

Some people have had to reduce Valium intake 2.5-5mg every week because the withdrawals and rebound effects are too much. Personally I would find a dose that eliminates WD completely for 1 week. (without getting intoxicated) On day 8, you start the taper. 25% is too much for a lot of people. The Pregabalin will help you feel more comfortable. Look up the Ashton Manual.

Thanks so much. Great advice!
 
Howeverm I always wd from fairly high doses without any problems, inclusing alprazolam, which I undertsnad is most similar durg (chemically) to clona. Don't undertand whatds different now. Is it the cocktail?
 
Ok, so I am now on 1.2 mg twica a day, again. Must say my life cicrumstances aren't great either atm. But neither are they worse. Anyway, I upped m,y dose to 2 x 150 mg officially now and my GP just gave me another script for three weeks at 300 mg per day. I still have my pack of 150 mg per day for 3 weeks. So I've got quite a bit extra. Do you think the extra pregab might help me to get off the benzoes?
the 150 mg arre original lyrica, the other one is some off-brand.

Thanks very much and I appreciate all of your nice and heart warming support.

EDIT: I've got the standard meds, tooo. Like promethazine, scopolamine in low dose for motion sickness (maybe to enhance my methadone during WD (?)) and DXM.

As others have stated, lyrica combines well with just about every substance out there. I just ingested 30mg of adderall and 300mg of lyrica an hour ago and I’m feeling as if I’m in a state of complete zen. They both accentuate the euphoric effects of each other. I’m focused and alert yet calm and collected. Later on I’m thinking of throwing in a couple of somas and see where that gets me. Lyrica is such a versatile little substance.

In a couple of days I’m going to drop a tab or two of lsd and mdma with a low dose of Lyrica to round out the rough edges. I seem extremely prone to bumpy acid come ups lately and this seems to be a great way to alleviate that.
 
I mean: Saying something about 150 mg, I clearly mean lyrica, not clona ;) .

So yeah, things are not going as I wished they would atm. I feel I just can't get opver the cravings with my current life... Any other ideas? Would any of the medis I've listed help me ore just make it worse?
Or should I use something like legit Diazepam to get sobar from benzos?

P.S.: Sorry about my last few threads, I was high on Lyrica plus Clona and might have posted some stuff that's hard to read and to understand. Sorry about that. You are a great community and I appreiciate every single positive word or any help, especially as things seem to be getting worse, not better, though I use less clona oer the day.

My GP had the great idea to prescribe me a double dose of lyrica because they thought taking one pill would be more easy than taking two with my old prescritpiopn. So I've got an extra 56 days of lyrica at 300 mg a day I don't need. Tempting.

Sounds like a great idea. Might hopefully work. Though I still think I should try to switch over to clonazepam or diazepam.

This all makes me feel like a terrible looser. Why can't I just taper down like everyone elese and like I did before????

Anyway, there is no damping effect from the lyrica regarding my benzo habit, though mood and sleep have clearly increased since I started pregabalin. I callled it a "wonder-drug" a first because it is the only thing that can help me sit still for a prolonged period of time without restless legs. Nothing else, including all kinds of opioidsand antidepressants, could achive this. So long story short: pregabalin seems to help me welll in therapeutic doses and it might be the right drug for me. But I need to get of these nasty benzos.

Ok, folks, the cravings were just to stong, but I REALLLY want to try with your help. Still anyone here or am I alone :( . I'll make it, you'lll see.

Can I mix 1 g Clona in PG with 2 ml Water without any problems??

I'm thinking about asking for some klonopin, too.

I REALLY TRY!

Does it kick in quicker if you open the cap and swallow the powder or does it have something to do with the powder being broken down or is it the actual capsule? becausee i've noticed no difference oh and this stuff is gooooooooooooood for sleep
Click to expand...
No point taking the powder out of the capsule, the capsule dissolves pretty quickly so I doubt you'll notice any difference in how quickly it kicks. Much more to do with how empty your stomach is.
Probably sublingual will make it kick faster but with no difference in bioavailability so I don't see much the point as the taste is quite disgusting IMO.

Never tried stimulants with pregabalin, but what you say reminds me of the combination of stimulants and benzos where both of them get rid of the undesired effects of the other. Not a very healthy thing to do though.
 
Ok, obviously I h gave up for now. But willl try again , latest date next week and I'll keep you updated. Do You think Etizolam might be of any help what about Pregabalin? What about talking to my contact person at my methadone clinic? Any chance they replace it with Clonazepam or Diaepam to collect in ever degreesing doses at my chemist (UK)?
