Status
Not open for further replies.
im feelin pretty good. its somewhat psychadelic but nowhere near the lebel of acid. i think im gonna take 4 more before school cause i gotta wake up for school in 6 hours and if this is the peak i kinda want it a bit stronger
 
i it cros tolerant to the G analogues? Or benzos. or alclohol.. I didnt get high off 8 x 150's as i should have. Sucks cos i doc shopped and paid 130 for 56 tablets, but got 600 roche clonaz minty goodness for $7 or so per 2 x 100 bottle with 2 repeats without date to be collected! just said i had seizures. he authed, rang medicare and got lyrica and clonaz 600 pills for me in no time, said "proven neuroleptic pain, RLS and epileosy"
god bless the PBS aussie shtem altho full porice is only 25.95 anyway for 100 roche kpins.
 
^^I'd say screw this pregabalin stuff when you've got some klonopins. JMO. But then again, I haven't tried Lyrica yet. I've got neuropathic pain and should try to get a script for that or neurontin, but if its anything like Ambien which a lot of people on here rave about, I'd rather just save my $100. Curiousity is piqued, tho. Would they give it to someone on Suboxone, considering the commercials say blah blah blah if you have a drug or alcohol problem, blah blah blah.
 
I used to take a low dose of pregabalin and I switched off it to neurontin, but the neurontin is making me stupid and I was wondering if anyone had that affect with lyrica. If lyrica doesn't make people feel dumb like neurontin I think I may give it another try. I'm using it for anxiety disorder. Any help would be appreciated.

Hahaha, that's some damn good advice. I just read the majority[it's pretty freakin' long] of this thread and settled on a 450mg dose for my first experience[maybe that's even towards the high end, but I like I push my luck, not throw it down the stairs]. Nothing's happened yet as it's only been about 30 minutes, but from what I've read I figure I better go hop in the shower BEFORE it kicks in. Usually I like a nice hot shower while all wacked out, but with the wobbly legs it supposedly gives and the fact I've never tried it before, I figure that might not be the smartest idea.
Will post back in an hour or so with my trip log, and thank you everyone for the info on this.
 
Lyrica recreational use

I have a script for Lyrica and am taking 150mg daily. I'm trying to find out what would be a good, but safe, dosage for recreational use.

Would it be best to wait til I'm not taking it every day before trying?

Thanks
 
I don't like it. Sort of an alcohol high.

If you wish to expeiment, the same applies as with all drugs - start small and work your way up.

If youre doing 150 mg a day, id try 450 maybe for recreational use...but i feel like the more days in a row you take this drug (even if you dont get high), the higher tolerance you build, and the less likely you will be able to enjoy the recreational effects. if you went off it for a couple weeks, and then tried 300-450 mg, youd probably feel something, but would that be worth going off your medication for so long? i doubt it.
 
Lyrica and Weight Gain

Before I started taking Lyrica, I was about 160 lbs. Now, one year later, I've ballooned to nearly 200 lbs. I blame this on the Lyrica for many reasons. A couple being that I eat less than I did then, and I'm more active. It must have slowed down my metabolism or something. Besides gaining weight, it also makes me all puffy and swollen in the morning.

As much as I'd like to get off the Lyrica to lose this weight, it's just so immensely helpful for the anxiety I have. I was on a high dose of Neurontin before, and it didn't cause hardly any weight gain compared to the Lyrica.

I'm wondering if anyone else has this weight gain issue with Lyrica. Is this a pretty common side-effect of this drug?
 
this IS a pretty common side effect. I gained probably 20 pounds in the first couple months of initiation of the drug. I hate that I am not as fit as before I started it, but it outweighs the electric, shooting nerve pain I had before starting it.

It is unfortunate yet uncommon and only you can decide if it is worth continuation or not... I wish I had better news, but I have seen this side effect's frequency in the literature as well as reported anecdotally throughout the internet.
 
Pregabalin has helped me through terrible withdrawl, but via an almost dissociative mechanism of action/effect, IME.

StaffWriter- Due to Lyrica being the Brand Name with the only patent for Pregabalin at the time, there is of course, no generic alternative to date. However, it seems like you and me have about the same taste in substances, as I see absolutely no value in things like Ambien, other than to knock me the fuck out. But I actually sort of like the way Lyrica makes me feel, in that I get at least a little bit of a "positive kick" from it. Give it a shot before you knock it, you might actually enjoy it.

Also, you might benefit from trying Pregabalin, or more likely, Gabapentin, for your Neuropathic issues, as a lot of people do/have.
 
That's odd.. I never felt anything remotely recreational while using Lyrica.

I've heard the commercial, and how euphoria is a side-effect or whatever..

but where is it??

What's so pleasurable about it?

It seemed to have great synergy w/ benzos (duh...)
Click to expand...

Yeah, the synergestic effects with benzos is great. Benzos usually make me sleepy, but the other night, I gook 200mg of Lyrica and 2mg of Klonopin and they seemed to go hand in hand. I didn't get all sleepy like I normally would. Lyrica gives me an enjoyable body fry, so that, plus the sedation of the Klonopin felt great.
 
I just got out of rehab a couple of weeks ago. I got the doctor to give me 100 mg 4 times a day equaling 400 mg for anxiety. He won't prescribe me any benzos due to the history of drug abuse but the lyrica actually helps at least a little bit. I was talking to the nurse that was assigned to me for a while and she seemed knowlegable about drugs in general. So later that night when I received my meds (just lyrica and ambien) she gave me 3 of them. It couldn't have been a mistake and it was really weird but it was like she knew that it's at least slightly recreational. I glanced at the small plastic container with the pills and all I said was, "thanks..?" since it was kind of odd for her to do that but I loved her for it. I felt pretty high but I could tell it interacted with the ambien too. Which brings me to the conclusion that lyrica isn't that great by itself if you want to get high but when I combine it with other things is when I really start to appreciate it. 300 mgs today and a couple of beers knocked me out, but it potentiated the lyrica to the point where I could distinguish it from the high of the alcohol and it felt pretty enjoyable. It just kind of relaxes you but not in a tranquilizing way-- hard to explain.
 
Lyrica made me gain 40 lbs, inside of two months, all puffy, slow met, everything, blah!
I'm a small person, and after exercising hard for a year, 20 lbs have come off...another 20 to go.

I can imagine high dosages causing seizures...but high? Is it a placebo effect? I don't care to find out, and flushed it, the damn crap!
 
lyrica

I came across some Lyrica about 4 days ago and took 2 or 3 100 mg pills and started to feel a buzz, so I took a couple more...got real dizzy but felt OK, I had been dope sick and it seemed to help that a lot and at least I got some sleep that night...since that first day, I have been taking in but here already on the 4th day, I have had to take around 1400 mg and only feel slightly buzzed....you develop a tolerance very quickly to this med,, so don't thing you are gonna keep getting that first drunken high you experienced.. yes, that first time I was bumping into doors, etc. the best thing about it for me is that I am sleeping since I have been taking it and a lot of you know I'm sure that it is about impossible to sleep when you are dope sick, unless you have some chemical help.........my chemical help will be around until this weekend, oxy 80's,, until then I guess I will keep on with the lyrica- but no more big doses, just enough to help me sleep.....
 
out of neurontin and pregabalin which do you feel is worse for memory? Since neurontin was pretty bad for me I wanted to see if anyone had experience with both.
