No I’d like to know if other people are finding that it’s not helping for them either for why it’s prescribed (pain etc) and for using it to get high

Interestingly enough, I actually have 1 1/2 bottles from an old script, and 3 full bottles of Pregabalin (my current prescription). Truth be told, I do use Pregabalin, usually once or twice daily….but the script is for up to 3 times a day. On occasion, I’ll use the Gabapentin as an in between dose booster for very bad pain days, but on those days, I’m actually taking 3 Pregabalin doses because I’m in a lot of pain and it helps tone down the intensity by roughly 20-25% or so (hey, every little bit helps!)
At one point I had 4 extra bottles of pre-gab, so I ended up just telling my doctor I won’t need scripts every 30 days, so now I get them as needed, but it took me time to build up trust with my NP, so I just ended up stashing the extra for rainy days back when I wasn’t feeling comfortable, lol.
To answer your question, it DOES HELP, even if mildly for 2 reasons. #1. It helps with decreasing the radiating properties of neuropathic pain for me (helps to decrease its reach some), and #2. It has some opioid sparing effects. Again, even if effects are rather limited, both are very good reasons, and I will continue to rely on it
Together, the Pregabalin, taken with low doses of HHC (a cannabinoid) and Belbuca….only using oxy-5 for spikes and bad days, I’ve been able to have respectable pain control.
I’m a walking pharmacy, but very functional because I’ve been able to use combination therapy to get by with incredibly low doses. Belbuca is only 300mcgs. Oxy is only 5. Lyrica is only 75, HHC is typically 4-6mgs with CBD, etc.
