The LYRICA (pregabalin) Mega Thread

Not open for further replies.
KelvanE, I noticed your post in the prices forum. Looking for prices comparable to Syracuse area.
Lyrica is a great drug for anxiety.
And it works wonders for sciatic nerve pain.
I live just down the road from you in Manlius.

well yeah, im expecting that much. all i have to do is take a break from it for a week and i should be fine. with benzos you cant do that obviously. if the wds get bad ill just take some xanax. this shit should be way better than benzos. right now i have lexapro that helps but not enough. my options are benzos, which do work but fuck things up for me, and this stuff. so i am very optimistic.

i looked on the ny medicaid formulary and its not listed at all. either is my suboxone and i pay 3 bucks for an entire month worth, so that actually sounds promising, right?

on second thought, im not even going to ask for xanax. fuck that shit. i dont want benzos.
 
anybody else find that high dose of lyrica ( ~1g) have quite the same CEV, and flash as high dose of Mirtazapine ( remeron ,etc..) ? For me they have a lot of similarities.

But now im quite addicted to lyrica. I use daily ~300 mg , on the morning and 150 in the afternoon. If I dont take my second dose at about 4pm, I suffer from withdrawal ...
 
what is the wd like? comparable to benzos?

im anticipating taking 150 BID. worst case scenario i can try neurontin. i decided i probably will ask for a backup script for xanax just to give to my gf in case i have a bad panic attack or if this stuff doesnt work. i will basically be supplanting clonazepam with the lexapro im already taking and probably use lyrica in lieu of alprazolam for when things get bad. sounds like a really good regimen for anxiety to me. im very confident and optimisitic about all of this. my PCP visit is tomorrow.

i will be citing that i already take lyrica for nerve pain from compounded scoliosis and to treat anxiety. i dont anticipate any problems. anyone have any thoughts?

oh, im starting an intensive substance abuse counseling course (i would list the state certification but i dont want to to divulge any information that would make it easier for people to know who i am) in 2 weeks as well. im totally psyched! im so happy with my life right now. getting off H was and still is so very hard, but man my quality of life is the best it has EVER been.
 
is lyrica effective for 6 months to one yar of use to help with benzo withdrawal and anxiety? i take 325 a day now and am on 1 mg of valium. I just plan on staying on until my benzo wtihdrawal gets better.
 
hell yea, for me, when I take Lyrica I dont need ANY xanax. And I was heavily addicted to those shitty benzo... The wd was horrible before I started lyrica.

And lyrica wd, is not the same, when I dont take it , I feel that my mood is bad. WHen Im on lyrica, everything is fine. I got a little up feeling that boost my day. And I can talk to people easily if I want ( which is hard for me, i've got a kind of social anxiety). Im in a very good mood all the time. This is way better than antidepressant.

I was on Mirtazapine for awhile, but It didn't helped me at all.
Any lyrica is "light" compared to benzo. It didnt fuck me like xanax. I can just keep working normally and not being tired or sedated.

btw, I dont have diabetes. Just nerve pain on the leg/feet. GL for your script. I hope your gonna get it, cause it help a lot. I didnt took any benzo since im on lyrica.
 
I think i need my dose raised cause i feel like im on speed minus the euphoria.. dont get me wrong i feel MUCH better on 325 mg of lyrica then i did with 4 times as much valium and zero lyrica. I hope this withdrawal dies down soon and I hope lyrica will be beneficial for me long term. Im sweating like a pig. But hey im lucky cause last time I withdrew from benzos I had a mental breakdown EVERYDAY. I ended up psychotic. Now Im just on full speed and full anxiety// I feelike i drank 50 cups of coffee. But people pay good money to be on meth right?
 
dude if you are taking lyrica and still suffering from benzo wd fucking up the dose. try 400 and see how you feel. i dont know, maybe i shouldnt say anything since ive never tried it.
 
well, i have my dr visit tomorrow. i stopped by the pharmacy and they informed me that medicaid does cover it. doesnt matter if its off label. i will claim im already taking it, it is for nerve pain but helps with anxiety and has allowed me to discontinue benzos. there is no way he cant prescribe it.

im going to say i take 150 BID. ill probably experiment tomorrow right after i pick up the script.

im aware that tolerance builds fast. so i am prepared to take a break from it for a week or two and start over. should be fine. i will probably take it everyday since i have anxiety every single day. i will probably take recreational doses on the weekend as well.

im thinking it may be a good idea to ask for some xanax when i do have to take a break from this stuff. any thoughts?
 
dun dun dun

dr visit in 1 hr. pray for me!

wondering if i should ask for some xanax just so i can take a break from the lyrica for a week when tolerance builds so i dont have WDs. whatever, im not that worried. i would give the bottle to my gf anyway so i am not tempted to take them everyday which WOULD happen if they were in my possession.

GL, hope you got it. :)

you dont need to stop using it to down the tolerance. Just lower your dosage for 2-3day. See what you can get from medical dosage first for your anxiety but im sure with 300mg and even lower you wont feel any anxiety.

It's maybe not at strong as benz but it work well for anxiety,shyness,speed you a little and improve your mood. Benzo doesent improve your mood at all. Maybe valium ( which I never took but read a lot ) but not xanax...

I would say if lyrica work, dont use alprazolam just try to find the good dosage.
happy experimenting =D

Yeah, man, I'm hooked on pregabalin & gabapentin. It's crazy. I've been on one or the other (or both) for like 6-7 years.

And yes, high doses of pregabalin cause CEVs and even some OEVs in me. Crazy shit. ESPECIALLY with weed/JWH-xxx...
 
just got 150 BID. i IVed 150mg with 1mg of buprenorphine. dont feel anything yet. ill wait 30 mins.

ps the solution was CRYSTAL clear, i have wheel filters so dont pounce on my nuts.

i know the BA is only 10% IV but you have to understand i have a needle fetish and i dont feel like waiting 2 hrs for it to kick in. peeeeeace.
 
this shit is awesome. never have i ever experienced any drug that has taken away my anxiety without intoxicating me. my anxiety is TOTALLY GONE, and im totally sober. this rules!!!!!! i have no urge to re dose at all. i will take it orally as i see no advantage to IV; no rush. like bupe, it takes a good 10 mins to feel IV anyway. 90% oral BA is good enough for me.

i will stop taking my lexapro as i dont need it anymore thanks to this stuff. wow, im so thankful i fought for this. i had to tell the dr i was prescribed it already and he was still hesitant since it is scheduled. he wants records from my old dr, ill figure that out soon. i have a refill on it as well, maybe he will forget. oh, and medicaid TOTALLY covered it. FREEEEE.

i think ill parachute it as i dont want to wait for the capsule to dissolve. ill place the empty cap in water and see how fast it dissolves and make my decision from there. i do feel a tiny bit cloudy in my thinking, hmmm we shall see. we shall see.
 
holy balls i feel sooooooo good right now. the 150mg is STILL kicking in, i can totally feel it now. this is the nicest sensation ever. i just parachuted another 150mg to experiment and because i wanted to try a rec dose. as soon as i swallowed the 2nd cap i felt the first one REALLY kicking in. there isnt even a need for a second one but i can imagine ill feel even better. wow this shit is amazing. i feel like god; for someone with anxiety, merely being normal/not intoxicated without the anxiety feels supreme but there is something else to this which feels incredibly pleasant. its NOT just taking away anxiety, it is making me feel so relaxed. like the cleanest benzo ever. i think im falling in love.

after years and years of shit drugs i have finally found it. this is better than any crap SSRI, better than xanax, and i dare say even better than heroin. better than the latter simply because i feel functional and am not nodding off in the middle of converation. heroin is surely better for getting high, but for my intentions this is vastly better. for treating anxiety this is much better than heroin since it doesnt have the side effects.

my typing is so fluid as well. i had a conversation with someone and instead of my impulse to look at the ground and avoid eye contact i smoothly conversed with confidence. WOW, i feel good. i have a feeling i will put on weight though.


QUESTION: how does this affect sexual performance? i forgot my lexapro the other day and that night i had the best sex i can remember in so long. i think this dampens sexual functioning, right? i also heard that it causes birth defects in children when the FATHER is taking it. THAT is simply fucked up. jesus. thilidomide, anyone? well, i better not get my girl pregant. that is the worst thing i can imagine, seriously. how heart breaking. my god i would be so affected. i just got very emotional about that. hmm. well, im rambling for sure. it feels good though. i could keep writing forever. i love you all. what!? did i just say that!? what the fuck? ok, that was bizarre.
 
Haha YOU SEE ! YOU SEE this lyrica is really amazing! My mood is allways improving more and more when I use it. and no more anxiety.

Is the BA of lyrica better when snorted ?
