The LYRICA (pregabalin) Mega Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
what exactly is lyrica doing in the brain, lol. i tried to read that 4000 paragraph breakdown they give you with it, but it was a bit over my head. something about altering calcium channel activity? ive never taken just GABA so i have no means of comparison.

how hard do you think lyrica is on your mind/body/heart(the physical one)/soul in the long run compared to opiates/benzos/psychs/stims?

anybody?
 
It makes my mind wander, my body flop, and my heart warm and squishy. As for my soul, I lost that in an accident in the early nineties.

Pregabalin is still a very young drug, TRPPNASS. Ask me this question in a few years, and I'll let you know if my memory has been damaged. After all, pregabalin is still a very young drug.

swim wants to take lyrica to get high, but she is on anti depressants, zoloft. Would it be okay to do, or is this a bad mixture?
 
I was just put on lyrica and will be upping to 300mg. I hope its effective for anxiety. Anyone else using it for anxiety?

AFAIK they shouldnt interact dangerously, but given that lyrica can have weird side effects on its own, I'd expect the likelihood for that to happen to increase if mixed in rec dosages with other drugs.

I know people who have been on SSRIs and taken therapeutic doses without a problem, but I don't know what would happen if the dosage of lyrica was increased.
 
I was prescribed this and found out on my first dose that It's one for me to avoid.

I have severe reactions to most all 'Nerve damage' meds, espesh' those that are anti-convulsant... (that whole family of Anti-convulsants that the docs scripted out for just about any pain over the past4 years)...

Well, I took just the one doseage as per doc's instructions.

Within an hour I was flopping around on the floor like a fish outta' water, after the seizure I was was left with slight / partial paralasis down the right hand side of my face & my right arm...

Called the doc, was suggested to increase the dosage???

I had almost had enough of him prior to this anyways, he had asured me that this was nothing like Nurontin or any of that family of drugs, that it wasn't prone to cause seizures or have any bad side effects, that it was OK to take dispite my heart condition...

Obviously no longer one of my doctors...

Since then I have had 1 other doctor & two specialist that I see suggest this med for other conditions...

How much of a 'kick back' can they be getting for this stuff?
 
i sniffed and swallowed over a gram last night, 15 75mg pills to be exact. I can still feel it this morning, it was a crazy night.


is this stuff easy to get addicted to? I've been abusing it for the past 4 days and I'm wondering if I will get any wd?
 
Tolerance, like Neurontin, doesn't seem to really build up at all. As far as withdrawls go, I have taken it every day for 6-8 weeks before and had little/no problem ceasing. Maybe a little problem once the drug got out of my system, as my RLS came back full fucking force and I couldn't sleep for like 3 or 4 days.
 
Couldn't get sripted said too new does know much about it. how does it go with opiates, benzos and benzos Taper withdrawals and sleep.
 
I've read in too many places that people become dependent on GHB and really overdo it, then it becomes very dangerous not to mention totally horrific to come off it, and they seek help but no one - even professional medical personnel - knows what it's about or what to do.
Now I've also heard from an individual who supplied me with Lyrica that it works wonders when you've been on G for too long a time. Generally benzo's supress monster-anxiety arising from abstaining G but I've experienced first hand how helpful Lyrica is.
I hope medical doctors everywhere will either know this or know where to get this information because it seems important to treatment of GHB addiction.
Besides I've tried Lyrica by itself and I certainly liked the effects!

also how fast does tolerance build up? I haven't noticed any significantly

I recall being told that like most meds in this 'family / group' it becomes effective after several days of doses (as prescribed) when treating whatever it was scripted for...

So I shall not say no tollerance, but point to it's 'half life' seeming to be greater than most other meds in that it stays in the system a lot longer, this is an assumption, not gospal BTW...

With the above in mind, I'd say that 'topping up' a buzz would be easier rather than harder and that tollerances may not come into play.

I wouldn't bank on 'never' gaining a tollerance outside of the prescription use / doses, but with it taking 'X' number of doses over 'X' number of days to work correctly on a medical problem it kinda' points to having less of a chance for tollerances...

Again, just an assumption (above).
Looking it up on the companies page or other RX info sites might reveal the correct answers...

I find that the websites of the meds & a few of the RX sites have some mighty info...

Can we trust these sites, well thats another thread all by itself.
 
^^^

I can say first hand that Lyrica doesn't really build up a tolerance...but I think it probably would after a while. I doubt it would be very drastic, though. Pregabalin, like certain other drugs, works better when you take it regularly, so you're definitely spot-on there.

xorkoth: you may increase the effects of lyrica by consuming 1-2 grams of l-theanine at the same time.

Nice...I gotta try this. I almost need something like this, because my tolerance is so high that I have a hard time feeling Lyrica now...and I would say I take a fairly high dose (300mg twice daily + 800-1600 mg Gabapentin as needed). I think most of my tolerance is contributed to the fact that I took Gabapentin for quite a while before I started on the Lyrica.
 
I just took 300 mg of Lyrica for the first time

I just took 300 mg of Lyrica for the first time and I just feel sick at my stomach. Is this normal? i don't really feel "high". I guess I just feel scared that I will OD on this stuff. ?

There is absolutely no way you will OD on 300 mg of Lyrica. Assuming you are not mixing it with any other downers. For me it does take quite a while for the effects to fully manifest. Just sit back and enjoy :)
 
I am pretty messed up now. =D
I took it about 8:00 pm and its now 11:41.
I have to be at work in 8 hours so I hope it wears off before then.
Ha...I am tripping pretty bad,:!
