The LYRICA (pregabalin) Mega Thread

wait, id be loosing 900mg or 3 days worth every 6 days if i follow that regimen. why dont i just use 600mg for 3 days and then not use anything for 3 days?
 
600mg x 3 = 1800mg

300mg + 600mg + 900mg = 1800mg

So your regime is cumulatively = to mine no?
The reason I recommend that way is its kind of how I eat my food lol, I like to save the best for last.

And after 3 days off, you will be able to feel that 300mg initially. If you take 600mg instead thats going to do much more to ruin your tolerance by your second 600mg dose.
If you keep changing the doses your brain seems to be tricked into making it more effective. But this is just MY experience.

In reality, you should try it both ways and see which you like more. It would only take like 12 days to find out. All I know is by the 3rd day if I don't up the dose somewhat I can barely feel it, which is why I prefer to take half my day 1 dose and add it to my day 3 dose. It just seems to work better that way and actually be more consistent although you're actually taking different amounts.

is it bad (jarring) to keep doing ON / OFF cycles for the brain, or no worse than doing it everyday/getting a tolerance?

Well if you are ok with getting tolerant to it and having it not do much of anything, by doing on/off cycles you essentially control your own tolerance.

Your probably not going to feel it at a certain point later anyway, so I like taking later and forcing it into now. By taking those days off. It winds up that I either take the pills with a tolerance and don't feel nothing later. Or I take a few days off, don't feel anything, but don't wind up wasting those pills and can use them more effectively.

If you're also being prescribe by a doctor, for legitimate nerve problems, than I wouldnt suggest playing with the dose like that. I'm not sure if you become tolerant to the physical symptoms (numbness pain killing) as fast as the mental ones (antianxiety/energy/etc). Because I've read people who were taking lyrica/neurontin for a while and claimed that it still worked for nerve pain, but that the anti-anxiety properties seemed to go away. So it really depends on what you're trying to get out of the drug.

Either way it seems if I take it for a week straight no matter what the dose it barely does anything, but with a low tolerance I get to appreciate the true potency of whats its suppose to do.
 
yeah, have you seen that youtube video with that crazy ass dude talking about neurontin v lyrica? he looks and talks like a punk but he knows his shit. he was saying he takes it like twice a week so he can feel it and avoid tolerance. that way you can actually get high on it.

im totally going to take days off. i found i cant get fully hard while on it and cant have an orgasm. so i NEED to take days off so my girlfriend doesnt kill me.

i did drop my lexapro from 10mg to 2.5mg though. the lyrica potentiates the SHIT out of my suboxone too. its wicked nice!!! like taking for the first time again!

the thing is i am scripted 300mg per day...i dont want to really be short at the end of the month...so i need to figure a regimen where it kinda equals out

woah, i just did a shot of suboxone cottons and a lyrica cotton. i got a nod from it with CEV!!! nice.

as far as i know, in the US, the highest supplied capsule is 150mg.

i would think that claiming to have fibro would require some documents to back it up. the best i can think of is claiming i have bad nerve pain in my back since i do have a compounded case of scoliosis (spine curves and inverts inwards). the nerve pain is supposed to be in the extremities and from diabetes though. i can try that and add that i have anxiety and have tried every meds in the book, benzos being the only that works but the tolerance rises to fast and they get me high (which i dont like).

hopefully the dr will write nerve pain as the reason for scripting and thus medicaid will cover it. im pretty sure if he writes it off label for anxiety the insurance wont cover it, that sound right?

i think by now people can see that i do have an anxious personality simply by how tenaciously i have posted in this thread. i take lexapro and while it does help i dont feel like it is an optimal treatment for anxiety. and im not depressed, the only reason i take it is for anxiety. i still feel held back in my life from my fear, as i call it. it isnt something that is specific. its more generalized. making eye contact and smiling, laughing are VERY hard for me. i feel trapped within myself. even ON an SSRI, so i know its not depression. it is the anxiety. i almost wish i had some xanax, but i just end up stealing cars and blacking out not remembering anything. i would like to be productive and not kill myself so benzos dont work for me in the long run, though they DO take the anxiety away for sure. that is why i am so fucking eager to try lyrica. ive heard so so many fucking brilliant reviews of it for anxiety. i simply have to at least try it and see if it works.

i suppose i can print out articles that show it has been approved in Europe for anxiety, but in reality im probably going to have to claim nerve pain so i can have it covered.

hey man good post im new here cuz lost pass word just wanted to let u no they make 350mg talets i actualy get 3 a day for anxiety my dr found out about it and just kept upin the dose( i have GAD abd panic disorder) i dont take every day cuz tolerance but it helos wit depresion mood swings and social anxiety like sum one said miracale drug
sorry for ad typing 11mg xanax got me done
 
I just eated 1,2g with 150mg tramadol. I'me a bit worried about having sizure. I've got lorazepam and xanax near me if there's any problem.

let's wait...
 
GABAergic. It's generally good etiquette to read a little bit of a thread before asking a question, your answer is on the very first page.
 
hmmm, it was not as good as what I thought... I used 1,5G on all the day.I had more spasm and electric shock than ever. But mentally I was In a dream. Thought are very odd, but you feel good , energetic and a bit euphoric. High urinal retention.

No need of benzo
 
last night was BAD. right after i shot those cottons i got cotton fever worse than ive ever had it. i was so sick that i vomited like 3 liters of puke and was having convulsions for 4 hrs. fuck. when am i going to learn my lesson and not shoot cottons? jesus.

anyway, i think im going to do like 3 days on 3 days off. i find that if i take a big enough dose it covers me the next day anyway. so its like 4 on 3 off which is fine. this way i can take 600mg each day and cop a buzz and NOT run out early. sweeeeeet. also i can fuck my girl dirtystylez. not being able to come SUCKS.
 
dohh. dont mix zolpidem with high dose of lyrica... I only took 10mg and I was OUT. I dont remember anything, but this morning when I looked on the box it missed 4 zolpidem... So I went up and took 40mg :S... broke a glass of water on the wall , and made some other shit. So be carful.
 
Don't ever mix a z drug (Ambien, Sonata, Lunesta) with benzos or lyrica... they're all GABAergic... or phenibut or valerian extract for that matter... hell even Kava... with neurontin or lyrica... they're ALL GABAergic... and they ALL exacerbate each other.

EDIT: forgot Imovane

hey, how does this sound for a good regimen:

150mg 4 days a week, 750 mg friday, 750mg saturday, and sunday off???

from my experience taking a day off def helps for getting more recreational effects from lyrica.

I can see why people exp. with high dosages , i have been there before.
It prob give you a nice high a couple of times but at the end you have to take so much lyrica to get any high (about 1.2 gram and up) and the side effects become obvious (confusion , short time memory loss) high dosages for a long time kills any recreational effect.
Its yust not worth it.

i found Taking low dosages works better for me , i take 300 mg a day a hour before breakfast and it gives me a nice boost to help me trough the day.
 
Hmm , personally I made my little planning ^^


Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday --> 150mg

Thursday--> off, to drop the tolerance before the weekend

Friday --> 700mg
Saturday --> 800mg

Sunday --> 150mg

Total of 2100mg just like 300mg x 7 day of the week
 
I first tried Lyrica about 2 years ago,took about 500+ mg at one time,felt a little different but not high,not as good as benzo's for sure,but i'm used to benzos as i have been prescribed to benzox for over 5 or 6 years.Anyway about 6 months ago this girl who works at a doctors office gave me like 12 sample bottles of Lyrica ,so I took 900mg that night and felt nothing but a little relaxed,not buzzed at all,no bumping into things like people have said,although it did help me fall asleep faster that night,and the next morning i had no "pill" hangover and was pissed that 900mg did not get me messed up..3 Somas get me 5 times more loopy than Lyrica,anyway the next night I took 1200 mg and ended up going to sleep after a few hours of waitng to get stumbly,even walked around hoping for that feeling but neve rgot it..I decided to give the rest of the Lyrica away since I figured if 1200mg did not get you buzzed it was probably bad for your liver so i was not gonna try a higher dose,when 3 or 4 somas and my klnopins do the some I was hoping Lyrica might mimic even 1% of but never did..bummer,maybe it just does not work for me dur to high benzo tolerance..
 
Okay so, I've read every single post on this thread now. I've been reading it for a few days and now, it's time to reply. I was told that I MAY (?!) have MS, and that if I DO, this medication SHOULD (Again, wtf?!) work? When I first went to get it filled and I was told that 60 75mg capsules was gonna run me $212, I said fuck it, and left it at the pharmacy. I've been on opiates for years - first codeine, then vicodin, then percs..then all of a sudden, he decided to take me off them altogether and put me on trams. Yeah, this dude has a complicated thought process. Anyway, He was prescribing me 120 50mg tramadol - 1 4 times a day, then 1 at bed time. When you calculate how long that's supposed to last, it's 24 days, but for some reason this douche bag pharmacist won't fill it until 30 days after I last had it filled, which puts me at waiting until the 12th to get it filled. Long story short - I used to get nuerontin, and it did jack shit for me. I could take 1.2g of it and be in just as bad a shape from w/d as I was before I took it...and, I'd be all depressed feeling. After the pharmacist telling me that the lyrica is nearly identical, I didn't want anything to do with it. I got a script of it filled last month because my GP told me he would no longer give me trams unless I had the lyrica filled and at least tried it. I didn't try it, but that $212 I spent on it was definitely worth not having to w/d from trams for 3 weeks. Anyway, today, I decided to try it. I only took one 75mg capsule out of caution, and I have to say..I don't think it did anything for me. I just had a friend drop me off a few perc 5's, and I read in a previoous post that it can intensify the effects from opiates amongst other recreationals (lol! LOVE that word!) so I only took 7.5mgs of the oxycodone whereas I would usually take 15mg. Ehh. I have to say, I'm not impressed. I'll probably take 3 lyrica in the morning to try to save my percs and see how well it does me, but after seeing all the hype about this drug and getting myself all worked up and hopeful that it really was this "miracle drug" I've seen some of you speak of, I am...disappointed, to say the least. I'll give it another shot, I suppose. But, I wanted to say to those of you who have been on opiates for an extended period of time and are looking for something to help ease your w/d from it...all I can say is, don't get your hopes up about this drug. I wish you the best of luck in your quest! By the way - one of the very first signs of w/d from me is the whole crazy legs shit, which I have to say FUCKING SUCKS! Along with the yawning, sneezing, dizziness..irritation..all that nasty shit. I took the 75mgs around 3:40pm today.. maybe I'll take another tonight before I go to bed, and I'll let you all know what I get from it.:?
