What is all the hype about lyrica!??! Its neurontin times 2!!1
. there is NO way im going to let tolerance get in the way of how helpful this shit is.
So recently I just received another prescription for pregabalin! I was verry excited when I had hard this. :D After being off Lyrica (pregabalin) for just over 4 months now.
Now before I WAS on maximum daily dosage (600mg/day) a long with my heavy benzo habit and Oxycodone habit, so it was really hard for me to tell if the Lyrica was helping me or or not. Sorry guys I just wanted to point out here at all that I am not dicksizing my old abit, no I am NOT proud of it one bit, it has the stupidest I thing ever did. 8(
I was put it on it due to GAD reasons in the first place I believe. Currently I am on 75mg BID, which is a pretty good dose, but still not optimal enough for me, I think the perfect dosage for me would be somehwere between 300mg - 450mg/day. My doctor is taking me up slow with this, and this time I am on it is because I have some type of 'tactile neuropathy sensitivity to touch' from too much drug use 'possibly' or 'possible just something else that I am waiting to discover in my MRI whenever I have my chance to get once. Since I am in Canada here, yes most procedures and testing is free but they have waiting lists up to 2 years long or more for some things, so to me, Canada needs smoke working on their healthcare system. Anyways, After I had detoxed from opioids (600mg Oxycodone daily habit (ORALLY) and Heavy benzodiazepine habit - you name it, pretty much every one, most common one was probably Ativan or Clonazepam though. I'm talking taking pretty extreme doses here a long with that 600mg Lyrica dose I was prescribed before, and a long with my non prescribed Oxycodone killer dosing which was quite stupid of me.
Lots of days, even weeks are a fog to me still and had lost several jobs because I woould be taking 12mg's of lorazepam (Ativan) per day a long with 60mg Flurazepam, and then Zopiclone+Alprazolam to sleep at night. This went on for quite awhile and it makes me sick now that I think about it. I still hadly remember much it - just very tragic moments here and there.
So to say now, I am currently clean just over 7 months it looks like :D Except for the odd drinking, GHB use here and there, and also dabbling in a little bit of Oxy (Sometimes).
These tactile sensations of neuropathy is why I got put back on Lyrica for this, but I guess it could also be a pinched nerve ending in my spine hence why I am awaiting this MRI. I have had about 3-4 blood tests since i've been, and everything has came back normal. I even was freaking out so much I had my AM Cortisol levels checked, and that was normal.
So the 75mg/2x Lyrica a day does help quite somewhat with these 'tactile chilly feelings up and down m arms and my shoulders, but lots of the times I am taking more because I need more relif, so I will take some days even up 750mg/day - wich I know is pretty stupid me, but that for sure will kill those tactile sensations although that dosage does bring about much more side effects which can be unpleasant we well.
I am very glad Pfizer invented Lyrica, as it is a great option for some us pain sufferes, especially with Fibromyalgia, or different types of nerve pain. It is EXTREMELY pricey for me, as I am not quite yet working and its not covered in my Province. I have been having a hard time finding a job as of lately. I have been out of my Lyrica prescription for a little over a week and a a half now, and don't see my doctor for more until sometime some week. I am really hoping he will increase my dosage too 150mg/x2 Lyrica per day.
just a quick inquiry here folks
Are there any other bluelighters than can relate to the 'tactile neuropathy/ crawling out of your skin feeling' and you or somebody you know has been put on Lyrica or another such med of? Any help would be so much appreciated guys. Its a tough road out there, but if we all still together and help us out, we can make it for sure. BTW - Sorry for the long post!
hey, im back on this thread and high of 600mg lyrica, i've got this little buzz with the motivation and the mood improved, I smile and laugh very easily.
The problem is, the tolerance. It rise up sooo fast. Even when I stop for 3 days, doesn't decrease my tolerance.
How much time do you need for that?
