The LYRICA (pregabalin) Mega Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
A. I dont think they make 100mg pregabalin pills. Mabey they do though.

B. Yeah the copay for my insurance with these pills is still 50 bucks.

C. They work well to potentiate opiates and have helped me with opiate and benzo withdrawal a few times.

D. The combination of the aforementioned three has me pretty chill right now.
 
Eh. It's okay. My doc gave me a looong speech about how people on lyrica always say they'd take extra if they could, before handing it over to me - after she'd prescribed me morphine, diladud, percoset, etc earlier. It's no big whoop, IMO. It made me gain weight even though I work out strenuously on a regular basis. In its defense, I took less short acting painkillers right after starting it. It's painkilling effects didn't last, tho. Hard to tell whether it make a difference at this point (I take 60 mg of MS contin and 200 mg lyrica each day.) Maybe?
 
i took 600mg of lyrica and 4 norco 10/325,i cant tell if it boosted the opi's or not,i fillrealy drowsy and dizzy but at the sametime i feel talkative and happy from the hydrocodone.lyrica does get you high,i cant realy explain the feeling,its kinda like a benzo high but your vision is like traces when you look away.i wonder how long this is gonna last.its an alright high but i rather be on my opiates and benzos.if you dont have ne thing else,its alright 2 take the edge off if you take 600 or more...

Although I've used all kinds of drugs - mostly intravenously - since 1971 - no drug has ever harmed my health as Lyrica did. I only used it for 3.5 years (OK, I took a bit much, 1500-1800 mg a day), an although I used opiates too, it was Lyrica that almost killed me. The strange thing is that the first 2 years I did not get any problems with it, then suddenly everything exploded, and to this day I cannot even take one Lyrica without severe health problems. Lyrica is a drug that has monstrously severe side effects, in the end I got almost every f-g side effect listed. Swollen arms and legs with water running out of'em, horrible waterretention, heart problems, loss of sense in nerves, awfully bad memory, depression, sleeplessness, panic attacks, the idiotic thing is that Lyrica is often prescribed for diabetic neuropatic pain. But no drug is worse in the long run, for a diabetic. Not even citalopram.

I just want everyone here to know the withdrawls for lyrica are the worse experience i ever had to deal with. Iwas taking recreational dosages between 15grams and 2 grams on and off for 4 months and i experienced a cataonic state where i almost lost my life. i experienced the worse anyone should ever go threw. staying up for 3 days etc. the withdrawl lasted from July29th to august 6th of 2009
 
guys im starting lyrica 75 mg a day to help with my benzo taper, i have a feeling my doc is gonna up it to 150 and stay with that. any advice? I am 20, should i stay on it long term? how long would be a good time to stay on it if not? it is helping my anxiety but im hearing all these terrible things about long term use. how long would i need to take it to get over the benzo withdrawals?

also does the withdrawal last as long as benzos?
 
It varies how long you will have benzo withdrawal, only you will truly know when the withdrawal is over. The only negative thing about lyrica I really hear is that it has side effects in some patients, like swelling of the legs and feet or hands. Some people may not like the way they feel on it. If it helps you anxiety and you are getting off benzos I would stick with it if you need it. Also if you do get swelling sometimes it goes away with time. I had bad swelling when I started taking gabapentin, but after about 5 months it went away. Good luck.

thanks man. honestly im sick of feeling like shit all the time and lyrica is helping with my anxiety. Maybe ill just stick with it til the fall school semester is over. I cant do this benzo withdrawal shit anymore. I had anxiety in the first place so maybe i needed somethinbg like this. I know im not getting off geodon anytime soon, the withdrawal for it is full blown schizophrenia. I was born with a mess of a mind.
 
Pregabalin WD it's easier than benzos WD, but in any case, I would suggest a very really small dose of Lyrica (Pregabalin) with Tegretol (Carbamazepine).

is 150 mg a day a small dose?

50 mg 3x a day, maybe for like 6 months to a year. Just too many things going on right now to be having mental breakdowns all day.
 
Lyrica makes me eat so damn much. I did a little thing, after 1 week of 150mg 2x a day, i had gained 4 lbs.

But it makes me feel nice so its ok.

have any long term users of lyrica noticed any weight gain?

i am scribed 2x 300mg a day for chronical pains, i am using lyrica for about 9 months now.

It may be sound strange but i have lost a decent amount of weight since i use it.

Could be because it makes me feel energetic and a urge to go out and do stuff while on it.

have you noticed any sexual side effects?

The first few weeks it gave me sexual boost, i masturbated a lot more then i normally would.

But eventually after months it actually turned around , i am less driven to be sexual active. sometimes i dont masturbate for over a week.
somehow it makes me care less about sex i think it depends a lot of the dose you take.

Didn't noticed any erection problems, so yes sex is still very doable , i wouldn't bother to much about it.

ill just continue taking it i guess. i hope it helps with the withdrawal more once i get to about 150 mg total.
