Gabapentinoids The Lyrica (Pregabalin) Mega Thread v 2.0

So I just bumped through a prescription of 25 Lyrica capsules recently.

I am sweating pretty profusely and I don't sweat because I'm kinda fckin skinny so I never ever sweat. I keep spraying my under arms with a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol
because it stinks so very horrible . . . like skunk and I hate it . . . since i'm so f'ing hateful today :) ✌️. It happened immediately from my first bumps and I know it was because I have recently -----been able-----to stop taking hydroocodoneeee yer knoh.

I am wondering if I can take gabapentin as a recreational bump or is this going to prolong the withdrawal even more ?

And I am wondering if I should just sweat it out and how long does the Lyrica withdrawal last for ?

My symptoms are making me hurt or maybe it is just the autoimmune disorder itself that is just the hurt and maybe the withdrawal is just some sweating and that is all ?

And if I did bump some gabapentin tonight . . . how long do I have to wait until after taking Lyrica to -----be able-----to take thee gabapentin without it being too adverse of an effect. . . . I am seriously wondering ??


I took Lyrica yesterday morning.

I guess I will smoke som weed until maybe someone will answer. The internet is kinda stuupid to me because I don't really understand it's kind of difficult to dig up a real live
question real quick !!!!

I mean answer real quick. My mind is kinda fucked up tooo right now !!!

And shaking !
 
Or wait . . . maybe i'ts because I never really used to sweat at ALL.

I do feel really sick right now . . . like maybe I really could die in a few years . . . .but if I am NOT going to . . then I don't want to be addicted to all kind of drugs.

I mean if I can avoid it.

I am going to see my doctor some time around next week.

And I don't even know what to say to him. Maybe I will just sit there. 🙁
 
I found this . . . but with my luck it might fuck me today

So stressed out going to the supermarket with wife and kid. Only had 75mg Pregabalin this morning as prescription low so phoning tomorrow (usually take 225mg in the morning.

It really does help in these kinds of situations.
 
Pregab aint no joke.
Take enough and ya get jerky, lose balance, thought processes etc wouldnt mix it with anything at high doses.
Be careful when on this substance.

Important post this.

Mixing substances can be bad enough but for some reason with Pregabalin can be even worse (nodded off/blacked out on this with stuff like Diazepam, Alprazolam, Tramadol, Soma, umm what’s those giant orange pills called? They’re an Opioid too) ugh my life over the past year has been bad enough to think back.

Anyway not demonising Pregabalin, can be great after all and I do appreciate what it’s done for me def but just the mixing (just my opinion of course).
 
Nucynta? Tapentadol or something is some powerful stuff IMO. I would mix it with Lyrica and be high, oh so high. But a babbling idiot, as if on some dreamy nodding -while-talking trip
I used to take 450mg/day of lyrica; made me chatty and a little manic, and also feeling like a vague MDMA high.
However, my doc switched me to gabapentin with my consent; seems a good way to avoid withdrawal, but it doesn't get me noticable high, but no empty vessel withdrawals anhedonia is how lyrica withdrawal hits me. Gabapentin is ok for a replacement which is nice.
Now I am addicted to Gabapentin

Lyrica, in high doses was like being fall down drunk; I couldn't ride a bicycle last time I had a 1g dose,
Am I the only one who really enjoys snorting like 75mgs at a time? Tastes good enough, is smooth, and gets me high.
That's how I blew thru my last 10 pills or so. now I miss it.
But hydrocodone is another beast to slay; trying not to lament my lost Lyrica, as there is always something to get me high!
I guess Im a druggie.

Tapentadol.

Yeah pregabalin withdrawal is horrible but you can mitigate it a lot by tapering down then going on benzos for a week when you jump off the pregabalin.
 
but pregabalin seems pretty useless (as well as just about anything) to help with benzo withdrawal.
Sure it may help but it doesn't take the edge off like the other way around
I wonder if my doc would really prescribe librax for benzo w/d.

I found pregabalin pretty effective for Benzo withdrawal; here's how I did it.
1) Switched fast acting Benzo (Xannie) for Diazepam
2) Taper Diazepam until you reach 10mg/day (depending on your Benzo dosage, this step may take a lot of time)
3) Stop Diazepam, start pregabalin -> 150mg morning/midday, 150mg evening, a total of 300mg/day (if this seems too low, can increase pregabalin evening dose to 300mg)
4) Keep taking Pregabalin for 4-6 weeks, preferably taper it too

Some additional points

*morning dose must be kept as low as possible, esp. if you're a high functioning person (have a job etc.)
*unlike Benzos, pregabalin is beneficial for sleep (positive impact on sleep architecture), hence you can take more at evening/night & interesting/funny dreams
*no need to open caps and take powder; bioavailability is ~90%, if possible don't take right after meal

Regarding librax, I don't understand how taking it will help with Benzo withdrawal since it's a medication which contains Chlordiazepoxide which is a Benzo itself; doesn't sound like a good idea.

Overall, I think pregabalin is a good medication when not abused and used in therapeutic doses (up to 450mg/d); I must say that unlike Benzos, it's effect is pretty "floaty" for a lack of a better word, I think working is better on Benzos.

That's my experience with it; I guess like all meds YMMV.

Yep... seen many posts like this.
Just to give a heads up to those who may experience symptoms akin to these of sudden cessation and recognize it for what it is.
Glad that this doensnt have an effect on you in this regard as I and some others find it quite a pickle.
Be blessed and stay safe.

I've been taking 600mg a day for RLS. I'm 60
 
Seriously you can get high from Lyrica? I've been taking 300 mg every day for years now for fibromyalgia to be honest I never really noticed anything! I'll have to try higher dosage or something I usually mix it with my Dilaudid and ketamine open up a capsule crush up Dilaudid mix it together to make that line stretch. I know some people are really into the Lyrica type meds like gabapentin and others but personally never really noticed too much of a altered state with it might just need an up in my dosage. IMO it always helps to add something in the mix when taking meds to stretch other things so you're not using just one compound as long as they're not interfering with each other and you're playing it safe it helps stretch some medications so you're not rapidly developing a intolerance for one specific compund. I did that with opioids now 100 mg of morphine a day orally doesn't even cut it. Helps a LOT to mix it with other stuff like muscle relaxers benzodiazepines Etc. I try to have a balance with getting high and dealing with pain since I really do need the medication and I don't necessarily always have to get high.

IME?
Blown away high. :eek: Dangerously so, imo.
Of course do not mix with anything else in higher doses of pregabalin (or any other gaba drug) I can still get a buzz from 100mg but rarely do I imbibe. @300mg I am sailin. 600mg drunken. 900mg and ya have weekend at bernies content. This is just me, though.
Ya have a tolerance to 300mg for years... dose 600mg and see what ya feel.
 
One thing I regret is the fact that I got myself addicted to Lyrica. I should've left it to be taken as needed only. :(
