The LYRICA (pregabalin) Mega Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
I can't help being impressed by the anti-depressive and mood-lifting properties of Lyrica. Whenever I feel a bit down and take 600+, in two hours I start to get filled with this feeling of wellbeing and it totally improves my mood. It can really be a blessing.

It is not like opiates in that it completely takes you over and puts you in a state of bliss and makes you lose touch with reality. It is much more subtle than that and you're still very much present and aware and not doped up (that is in low does, on high doses you can get fucked). I find it works fine if you take it every day, though to get the full effect you should wait at least two days. Great potential as an anti-depressant taken every two days, though, and for people with an opiate addiction to switch it up with. Could avoid a lot of problems by effectively halfing their habit and maybe even avoiding dependence, and I'm completely serious about this.

I really don't see why this shouldn't be available as a general mood-lifter, or over the counter. But of course the only mood-lifter we have freely available to us is booze, and if that doesn't appeal the only choice many can see is turning to hard drugs. I can just see how if more people knew of and were aware of such a substance it could stop many from turning to serious drugs and getting into that hell in the first place, as it might be able to provide the relief they need. Could save so many lives.
 
why does pregablin make me shakey/spasmy even at low doses? i want to use it for anxiety (recently come off benzos) and possibly its anticonvulsent effects, but it makes me shakey like mad, same with opiates for some reason
 
Tonight I took 1000mg Lyrica, some Tramadol, drunk half a bottle of wine and smoked some pot. But I can't say that the high was fantastic, rather it was nothing special. I felt a bit drunk/stoned and couldn't walk straight. However my friend who took the same stuff as I did was off his tits, he was hallucinating and falling on the ground.
Is it something wrong with me? It sort of didn't work and now I cant sleep.
 
The wine might might have cancelled it out, along with all the other drugs, it's a subtle drug and best taken on its own. Or if it was your first time it seems like it takes a few times to get into your system. After I tried it again after a long break I didn't feel anything much for a few tries, like your body needs to learn how to use it again. This seems especially true for the more euphoric effects, I could feel the more speedy effects but not much else. Keep going at it (remember to allow for at least one or two days between use).
 
I used to take pregabalin for pains for a while, but then stopped because of side effects, so it wasnt my first time. Also I started drinking wine 4h after I took Lyrica.
I'm upset.

If you took a break the same applies, and Lyrica doesn't really kick in until 4 hours, like Neurontin it has a delayed onset.

1000mg is more of a mood-lifting dose though, so if you were looking to get fucked you might be disappointed, and doubt it would be that noticable through the wine/weed. To get really high you need like 2000-3000mg.
 
so does no one else get shakey on this? even at low doses? its ment to be anti epiletic and that worries me because i think my seizure threshold is a bit lowered atm (coming off benzos quickly, this helps wds greatly but makes me shakey)

Really? Everybody says 500-600mg is enough.

In my experience, you need 600mg just to FEEL it, and then it's more comparable to 1-2 beers. Works more as an anti-depressant or mood-lifter in that range. Guess you need to experiment for yourself.
 
I guess I'm just wired differently, but if I take 150mg I can feel pretty decent. The only thing is, it's like I'm zoned out. Stoned as hell, you know? Not opiate fun :( Oh well, no opiates for me. I cannot control myself!
 
I've been taking Lyrica for about 3 weeks at 75mg in the morning and around 300mg in the evening. Does anyone think I'll have withdrawal if I go cold turkey?
 
hey. im an experienced pregabalin abuser. i think the dose you have been taking is pretty low but you may have some very slight withdrawal symptoms but youre going to be fine. slowly cutting down is always the best option though if you can do it.

when i have withdrawals, for about a week i feel anxious, depressed, very lacking in motivation with a headache and difficulty concentrating. this is from taking over 1000mg per day though.

im just about finished going through my last withdrawal stage since it has been almost a week since i last had some. pheeew!
 
It's nice to hear that the withdrawal time is quite short. I was a heavy tramadol abuser for almost 2 years and had the worst time of my life quitting that. I still have depression even 2 months after quitting.. hence the Lyrica..

I'll guess tapering is the answer.

Thanks for your help!


By the way, does anyone know if you can take Lyrica and Wellbutrin together? I've searched on the net and I can't find any interactions, but am still a bit leery.

^I checked drugs.com interaction checker and nothing came up. Also I was taking lyrica for chronic pain and took zyban (another bupropion product) for a couple months to quit smoking and had no problem with it.

The lyrica probably will just cancel out some of the stimulant effects or the bupropion will cancel some of lyrica's sedation.
 
snorting pregs does seem to work, and is kind of a different high, i made a bomb of pregs (got powder of it) and did it, but just before thought fuck it and maybe snort 250mg, now im buzzing slightly and chatty as fuck, weird.
 
^I haven't ever been able to find intranasal BA for pregabilin because its so new and less abused than other pharmaceuticals, but I do know the oral BA is 90%+ so chances are you are wasting a substantial amount by snorting them.

ive got plenty of pure powder im just expiermenting, ive done some orally too but the lines definatly perked me up in a stimmish way now feeling sedated. Still feeling a bit from the oxy earlier but thats pretty much worn off.

Also can someone tell me if this stuff actually prevents against seizures, because when im quite fucked on it i see flashing lights everywhere, shake and everything.
 
^its used as an 'adjunct' for partial seizures so I don't think alone its that powerful of an anticonvulsant compared to say lorazepam or other benzos used to abort seizures.

bnb, do you have a lot of experience snorting oxy? coke? other stimulants?
 
yes i have exp with pretty much every main drug and many rc's doing all ROA's except IV, feeling a bit calmer now, just got anxious (i suffer from anxiety alot)

Wont do anymore now.
