for me dosage work like this:

250mg: slice feeling of drunkness
350mg: drunk felling but clear head and not as stupid as when im drunk, little spasm
600mg: same feelings but I'm very much more talkative
950mg: same above with the euphoria and I appreciate life much more and laugh a lot. This dosage fully satisfy me so I keep this. heavy spasm

Im planning to try a last 1200mg to see if there's anything else. but more I think would be too much and dangerous.

I don't understand why people said things like "it you into a zombified moron. " not for me. Lovely drug but the muscle spasm are a bit annoying sometimes you have to be careful to not fall down. But no problem for me , because I always use it when I lie down on my bed with music.
 
ok..i been on the floor for 3 hours ..i can barly tY pe this message ....im sooo fucked up on lycica ... YES IT FUCKS U UP THIS IS FIRST TIME I TOOK THEM & IM A JUNKIE & HAVE A VERY HIGH TOLLERANCE OF PILLS ~~~ WOW 8o

^^^Just because you have a high tolerance to opioids or benzos does not mean you will have a tolerance to Lyrica. It's not the same thing, people should keep that in mind.

You need to be carful JUNKSTER, call a friend over to keep an eye on you or something.
 
i was talking to my dad, who is a dr, and he had no idea it was prescribed for anything besides firbo. he wants me to checkout invega and abilify. i dont know why he keeps thinking antipsychotics would be a good thing for me. he has been trying to push abilify for a year now. he knows i have an aversion to antipsychotics...im not fucking psychotic so why would i take that brain garbage? it makes sense to try something that zeros in on the anxiety.

im not depressed, not schizo, not ocd...i have a lot of anxiety. if i can find something that works i am pretty sure i would be able to stop taking lexapro as it does help but i feel kinda indirectly. i want to be taking a med that is actually for anxiety not depression or psychosis, ya know? any thoughts??? thanks.
 
christ on a stick, im starting to get anxious over waiting for the actual dr appnt! im thinking of calling my shrink and seeing if she will script this. in fact im going to call right now. cant hurt. it would be so nice to actually feel good. im starting to crave getting high a lot too.

its strange, there was a drum circle last night and i knew i could get stoned there but i dont care. still there is this drive i have to put something in me that will make me feel good. i dont want pot or coke or whatever, i want something that will calm me down and make me feel comfortable in my skin. so i know its my anxiety taking over again. its not overt like im freaking out but i just feel restless and like i could feel better.

i dont want to even try the antipsychotics my dad recommended. fuck that shit. ive never been able to take benzos successfully because i always abuse them. right now though, 1-2mg of xanax would be sooooooooo nice. just being able to relax and smile feels so fucking nice to someone that deals with this shit everyday. im tired of feeling like this.

I quited my benzo addiction using lyrica. Didn't touch any Lorazepam/Alprazolam for 2 month from now. Pregabalin powwer ;-)

Really? How long were you using benzos for? I have a script for Lyrica but had a really bad reaction to it, one of the problems being intense anxiety. I did take Klonopin with my Lyrica - does anyone think they may have interacted in a bad way?

well, i wouldnt actually be trying to get high off it. i would like to use it at theraputic doses. however, if it does get you high, i would have a hard time not venturing there. i plan to take 600mg every other day as to not raise my tolerance incredibly.

Beware, I exerienced HORRIBLE withdrawals after less than 3 months of using it every other day (though at high doses). Mark my words, this is worse than opiate WDs (especially because it lasts so long). Do NOT get addicted to this drug without an emergency supply of Gabapentin (which is cheap) in case it doesn't arrive or you can't afford the high cost. Oherwise, no matter how much care you'll take not to run out, eventually it won't arrive on time or you'll be tempted to use your emergency stash to get high.

Stupid, when it can be avoided so easily just by stocking up on Gabapentin (just make sure you'll have 2.5 of your dose for at least ten days). I ran out because my (only) supplier was 3 weeks late. Thought Kratom WD was bad, but it's nothing compared to this, at least that is more limited in length and severity. But I've never been through benzo WD, and it's essentially like that I guess.

that kind of dosing reminds me of waiting to take the normal bupe dose and having it be awesome for that.

has anyone taken it regularly at noticed that the effects diminish to practically naught?

i take lyrica for about 9 months now, i got it scribed from the pain clinic in my local hospital for chronic pains. Dosage 4x 150mg a day

I also got trapped into the big binges the first few months after i quicky discoved that they not only help me trough the day but you actually could get a nice high from these "wonder pills"
At 1 point i did about 6-9 x150 mg pills a day , i needed at least 4 at once to feel anything

yes the effect disminish in a couple of weeks /months if you continu to do high dossages.

p.s It is amazing how one can nod on Lyrica and also get so energetic! <- reaction , yes i still find it a mystery that it gives me such energy boost but still you can also find it very easy to just sit/lay down and take a nice sleep if you would want to.

luckly you can have a big part of the effect back if you scale back the dossage.
it would take about 4-5 days to get back to a decent tollerant nivo

i am back at 2 -3 x150mg pills a day now.
i learned you got the most effect from them if i take them on a empty stommage say about 75 min before breakfast.

if i take them with food the effect takes much longer to come up , could take to up 3 hours and is somewhat weaker ad less noticeable.

You will discover overtime that its not worth it to take big dosages,
you almost will gain zero effect or have to take absurd dosages to feel anything at all.
Small to normal dossages are nice enough to survive the day with a good mood and less pain :)

i am trying to get my psych to prescribe this. i am worried because it would have to be off label and i have medicaid. i pay my dr out of pocket for my visits but when she writes the script does she have to put a diagnostic code in that medicaid will look at? i would be using it for anxiety and that is not an approved indication, so it is off label. considering pfizer got sued for marketing several drugs for off label use, including lyrica, im wondering if this makes it harder to get it if i dont have neurophathic pain or seizures.

anyone know if medicaid will even cover it? its expensive as FUCK, so im thinking maybe not. i pay this bitch 100 bucks every month and i may not even be able to get a C-V drug? fuck. anyone know medicaid NY? i couldnt find lyrica at all on the formulary, so im thinking thats a good thing, RIGHT???
 
I'm just surprised a drug that completely WIPES out opiate WD isn't any better known, especially as this is considered impossible to do. It would make rehab virtually unnecessary and enable people to withdraw for themselves, but I'm guessing in 5 years time or so this will be well known, or more on the level of Valium. Funny thing, I never got anything out of Valium which has such great renown, it just induces a boring drowsiness in me. Lyrica is like I imagined Valium would be like, or opiates. Was expecting a strong feeling of wellbeing and euphoria, but it's nothing like that. That people can prefer benzos to Lyrica I can't understand, but I guess out neurochemistries are different.
 
youre right, once i used it to treat tramadol withdrawal. it completely made the withdrawals disappear. however, i quickly became dependant on the lyrica. luckily lyrica withdrawal is nothing compared to tramadol withdrawal.
 
I am also on lyrica for pain, I am only perscribed 75mg/4d so 1200mg seems a little crazy to me haha. And believe me I am an experienced pill user. I am just scared to go that high on lyrica when my doctor told me the maitnence dose was 300mg a day.
 
so again, anybody know if this is covered by medicaid?

any problem getting it prescribed or paid for since it would be off label?

i remember lamictal and several other drugs being prescribed off label, wasnt a big deal. i just hope medicaid covers it. also, my shrink is my suboxone dr and she knows my past of addiction, may be hesitant to script a controlled med. compared to the suboxone she scripts this should be like candy in her eyes. i think i should bring some print outs of articles and such to fully convince her.

I was on benzo for a year, but rapidly became a heavy user...and one day I got a bad accident and broke my 2 feet and leg ( fall down from the 2floor ) I had big nerve pain and this is where come my script for Lyrica.

With lyrica I just didn't suffer from withdrawal symptoms. So it helped A LOT since benzo withdrawal is one of the worst... :|
