I've never taken these before, came across this vid in my feed and it looked interesting. I just wanted to share something i learned from being prescribed a pain pill for my back. The doc prescribed something he thought would help, i told him i had some other pain pill previously and i would like to take that again. He told me i could get both. When i went to the pharmacist to pick them up, the pharmacist looked alarmed and cautioned me that they cant both be taken together, that could cause a stroke. I was in shock that my doctor allowed this and didn't even warn me. Needless to say, make sure all your docs know of all meds and do your research as the man in the vid stated and good luck to you all.
Doctors often prescribe medications that interact without realizing, it's dangerous and it ends up being your pharmacy workers that have to pick up these problems
Absolutely loving your content mate. So so proud of you for speaking out to the public... sometimes this is a great way to heal yourself by healing others and I think you are definitely making a positive impact mate..... pills are prescribed as a quick fix to get us off the doctors cases and out of the waiting rooms because the government makes more money from prescription medication that they do anything else...... I will use a quote that I always return to.... pills only numb a wound so we can’t feel the pain but I unfortunately that wound is still bleeding and eventually you will bleed out... We need to heal these wounds not mask them and the way forward is speaking out like your doing mate.. speaking to loved ones, best friends, mentors whoever it may be... just please don’t hold things in because that’s when It all builds and builds and eventually like anything that pressure will eventually explode..,, thank you again Conor for sharing your journey and maybe giving people who watch the the confidence to speak out and quite simply get it off their chest..... It’s not what you have in your life that matters, it’s who you have... 💙💙💙
You are correct pills aren’t the answer for people who have suffered with a great trauma as they need councilling etc but for people like me who have no reason to suffer depression and anxiety due to a chemical imbalance then the only answer is medication and all other treatments like CBT are a waste of time
Seems like this stuff is prescribed for a multitude of different ailments. I'm on it for severe nerve pain/damage from a horrendous ankle dislocation that broke it too and ripped nerves and tendons apart too. Handy to know about your experiences and what to watch, so thanks for that. Can't be easy to talk about so well done.
Hey, I am looking for a potential alternative to Hydrocodone. I had a severely herniated lumbar disc and the nucleus stuck to the nerve root. I got one of the best neurosurgeons in the world to fix me (artificial disc replacement in Germany) and they cleaned out the nerve root under the microscope, too, but I am still getting periodic inflammations 7 weeks post-operation. How is pregabalin working for your nerve pain? I am just looking for a plan B for my nerve pain/inflammations, if my doc decides that he can't prescribe opioids anymore. Nerve pain is absolutely horrendous, by the way, for anyone who has never experienced it.
I quit it quite easily, despite being on 600mg per day. Can't relate, but I was very scared while quitting due to documents I've seen. Now it's been long time off. You're very right about thing waiting in the corner! Too long story to tell now via phone, tho. :) Keep being strong, mate. Hope everything's going in the right direction with ya, you deserve it: don't let your mental issues tell you otherwise, ever. I send understanding of the struggle, support and love! ❤
Got it for 6 months now. Just taking 2 times 50mg a day. Sometimes even 25mg a day and I feel so much calmer more confident and social. Sometimes I don't take it for 2 days and I don't feel the rush to take it. Sometimes I think if I should just quit it. But for me it helped tremendously on low dose. Something what also helped me was getting into stoicism. The mindsets later me handle the downs of life better.
I'm on 350mg ha umm can honestly say if I try to stop I go phychotic so they won't take me off them now so I have to have yearly blood test to make sure my liver doesn't quit on me. The doctors have really screwed me.
350 daily ?how many years?i took 10 50 mg and im scared because i have weak liver and kidnies so probably this stuff stayed a lot of time on my system' having trouble concentrating and with memomy only on that dose also weak muscles
I had trouble coming of them but they drove me mad so i no choice i hope you get better i think the only way would be to reduce or contact a drug rehab center as alot of people have problems with prescribed drugs like my self and thats what i had to do all the best i hope it works out for you .
I'm on 600 mg a day and I have tried coming off them in the past and it's near on impossible to come off I'm literally climbing the walls if I don't take them It's far harder to to come off than oppiates. Well done mate stay strong
Moynan Playz i was on heroin for a long time and when i stop i had to go on 350mg. And whit all respekt, heroin is 1000x hader.. but that dont make this easy - not at all - maybe its difrent for me i dont No... wish the best for you in you Road ahead..
@@bambamgaming7166 are you taking the piss the or being serious either way I’m not offended it’s just for me I’ve taken codiene, Dihydrocodiene, morphine and OxyContin and yes it’s not pleasant withdrawing from them and I know it is not easy stopping taking them but for me trying to come off pregablin is like a living hell but as I always say drugs affect people in different ways so when someone says it’s far easier to come off pregablin than opioids I believe them but for It’s the opposite and at the end of the day it’s not a competition I feel for anyone withdrawing from a drug and really struggling. I also took fentanyl once but that was not by choice I broke my leg and the doctors gave it to me before the anastetic wore off but that shit scares the shit out of me as you can literally die from having one grain to much and anyone taking it by choice is really playing Russian roulette with there life
@@restlessblend different drugs affect people different ways and I believe you when you say heroin is harder to come off than pregablin and I feel your pain as coming off drugs are a living hell so all the best to you with your recovery
I came of some tablets 4-5 months ago and Iv been feeling better not had one break down been to my mental health doctor today and he's trying to pill me up on pregabalin Iv tried so many tablets when Iv not wanted to for 6 years Iv had so many bad side affects from them all I'm 100% not trying these! Just reassures me not to.. and be comfortable in my decision to say no.. Iv found what's helping me at the moment is clean eating and exercising even if I can't leave the house sometimes just a small indoor work out.. Iv not had one break down in 4 months being on completely nothing I was on loads of different tablets for 6 years having maybe 1-2 a week breakdowns, I still obviously have my mental health issues but I'm 100x worse on tablets .. I live with my mental health and I know more about myself then any doctor can to say here is a pill to fix you .. all minds are different no two are the same so I don't get how one pill can fix so many minds? There just dopers at the end of the day and I don't wanna be doped out, I get it's good for some people it's just not for me
They refuse to listen to people and refuse to see the damages it causes. When my DR saw what it did to me when trying to get off it he only prescribed it to people who were within in a year or two of death!!! I had to quit 9 years ago because of the weird thinking that had begun after 5 years of being on it. My life has been a living hell due to Lyrica ever since. I thought nerve pain was bad but it's not that much at all, compared to what pain I deal with now.
@@bunsmom I hope you're on the mend now. It took me 2 years to be completely free of Lyrica and I'm so glad that I did. Life was spiralling out of control and the thoughts that darken the mind whilst withdrawing from it were scary to say the least. Stay strong both of you, you're both in my thoughts.
I was put on Lyrica-Preg. Quickly up to 600mg a day along with amatriptaline (not sure how it is spelt) along with high dose Vensil XR . . diazipam and beta blockers. Last summer I had a breakdown and had no Idea what to do because here in Kent there are no services to help when your world blows up. I am a disabled single mum caring for my severely Autistic son and have recently been diagnosed with Autism myself. It is a Cronic situation.
I have a very similar situation to you ,but what the hell was your doctor ,thinking of allowing you to have all these toxic amount of drugs ,let alone mixing them together, they are now doing a huge clamp down on ,a lot of addictive drugs ,as there has been so many deaths now reported ,but that does not yet apply to lyrica yet ,it should be a controlled drug !!! Shame on your doctor ,it's horrendous how they dish out these drugs like sweets ,they should damm well be looking at practical help for you and your son ,so that you can get some respite care ,for you and him ,but it's a fight all the way to get any help, without shouting out loud ,even worse when your ill yourself ,good luck ,I totally empathize ,!!
I am off and on with Lyrica. Anywhere from 600 to 1000mg per day. I built up to these higher doses over time. Rather I quit cold turkey or step down it doesn't matter for me. I go through 4 days of withdrawals. Day 1 is easy. No appetite, not thirsty, not interested in much. Day 2 starts to suck. Stomach upset, gassy, no appetite at all, not thirsty and major anxiety and feelings of sadness, can't sleep well, bad dreams. Day 3 is the same. Day 4 everything improves. By day 5 everything is better, but there's cravings for Lyrica. It's not easy, but not impossible. Be careful with the seizure risk. I noticed a distorted sense of taste and smell before the seizures I've had. I hope this helps. I don't plan on taking any more Lyrica. The side effects willkill me.
@@denni8884 Very good! Stay strong. By tomorrow you will start feeling more connected and once again a part of the human race. You will be fine. Make sure and remember this detox. It could keep you from doing it all over again. If you do decide to go back to Lyrica there's no judgement from me. It took me about a dozen trys.
For me pregablin has been a life saver but all drugs effect people in different ways. After many years of drinking just as everyone else does I decided to give up 18 months ago as every time I drink I get really depressed and anxious Which normally lifts after a few days but a number of times it has led to a major depressive episode and when I was younger nobody not even the doctors linked drink and depression and it’s only been 4/5 years that I have realised how bad it is for me.
I have been off these for 3 weeks now. I tapered off for 4 months and now until taking nothing at all for the past 3 weeks now I still don’t feel 100 percent At the start it felt like I was a walking zombie and didn’t want to leave my bed. I had sero motivation and I’ve had dramatic weight loss and had a hell of a time coming off them and all these different feelings of discomfort came along with it. My body temp raised an awfully and I’m experiencing a bad case of anxiety and depression as symptom of withdrawal, what I can say is it’s been 3 weeks now coming off the drug and I feel My appetite has naturally picked up and I’m having a bit more of energy about me now where as if I taken 300mg per day I would be bouncing with energy and able To do anything i wanted really the drug motivated me to do everything but once I came off it I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow and my brain thought completely differently. Slowly getting myself off this poison I feel like the more I progress and work on my self care the better and hope as the weeks / months go by without taking it I get my old true self back again , long road and still early days for me coz I’ve been clean for 3 weeks , I don’t have much memory loss now but dr has put me on diazepam to help with sleeping at night and temp sleeping tabs because this was seriously having a bad impact on my life when I stopped taking the lyrica my insomnia flared up bad again. What I found that helped me was making yourself (eat) and drink plenty of water and restore your natural energy back I know there is a lot ahead for me to get to the place I want to be , I forget who I was before I started taking this evil drug but I do believe the body is an amazing thing and it will be in full recovery as long as it’s Completely clear of my system I would never want to look At one again seeing I’ve came this far is there is no turning back
I was put on these for anxiety and I found out they could be abused so I started taking more than I should and I felt on top of the world but when I come off them I literally was paralysed with anxiety so I started taking them properly and I have not gone more than 3 days without them as it’s too hard and they are a part of my life now and why put myself through hell when I get the cure free as I’m disabled and In England you don’t have to pay for your medication if you are out of work
i am on pregabalin.....clonazepam bupornorphine.......also a 20 year heroin addict...............do not take pregabalin and alcohol...it is the worse mix...very dangerous......yes pregabs work if u take them as prescribed..the drug itself does help many people...but like all drugs...its down to the person....i have loads of experience with drugs....just saying...do not mix with alcohol.
Agree completely here mate Pregabalin & Alcohol is a toxic, dangerous mix. You can end up in a black out stage, waking up with no memory & severely ill.
blurry vision, fatigue, memory trouble ( can't remember a book very well, etc ) from 600 to 525 right now, the key is to go really slow, it's really addictive, doctors should take pregabaline before the patient himself, that would prevent.
@@MyriophyllumTuberculatum I'm sorry to hear that. Youl make it! Don't give up! The drug doesn't own you! You can do this!!!! You will not fail you will not cry! Youl learn by the lesson now pick up your feet. Straighten you're shoulders. And take some deep breathes for me. You're gonna make it bud. You're very close. No shame. I've been a heroin addict most my life. & benzos. I know they're very damn difficult But it's possible Go for it!
I'm on 600 mg per day and am 2 weeks in coming off of them. I made my own schedule. I've never met anyone else who has been on them for 12 years like me. So with the schedule I come off 10% per month. In total its going to take 2 years, because 10% of 90% is less than the initial first 10%. The withdrawal is still brute, but its better than cold turkey which i have tried 2x in 12 years.
I've just started this as of last night, to help with my pain and anxiety from various physical and mental health issues. Also taking escitalopram. So looking forward to the side effect from going onto this, as well as the withdrawal effect from coming off cocodamol after 8 months use.
Im on 100 x3 a day. So sleepy, sleep 14hrs at night. And so dizzy. Also on 300mg venlafaxine. I've had pregabalin be4 but the side effects wernt this bad. Last time I weaned off them very slowly due to weight gain. If I start gaining again I will stop. I get the odd muscle twitch too. I've tried all the anti psycotics and they were no good. Pregab is my last hope for anxiety. I cannot leave my house. 😢
Hey im taking this at 250mg + 5 others Escitapram 10mg Matazapine 30mg Clorpramazine 25mg Zopiclone 7.5mg Im having mermory loss or blibs in remmbering and mind goes blank for abit anixity is still bad though :\
I'd say if your doctor is considering pregabalin, try out gabapentin first. It's similar but lower potency and much easier to hone your personal dosage since each bump or decrease won't be as drastic of a change.👍. Best of luck to y'all!
I’m on a similar medication gabapentin can’t drink large quantities with it but it works I never tried going off of it since I started it two weeks ago it’s working great heard it’s for partial seizures anxiety depression similar to pregablin but it’s less potent
im going through the worst time I have nearly killed myself due to the constant torture, mental torture i'm really struggling. stopped cold turkey due to me not being able to buy them anymore. im waiting for an appointment to see if anything can get done im considering going to hospital 2nd day off them.
Pregabalin works almost like a weak opioid but with different effects on the GABAergic presynaptic terminals by regulating calcium ion reuptake, and it`s a pretty new drug so they want to paint it as a "wonderdrug" even though they know it`s dangerous. This effect leads to there being to much calcium ions in the presynaptic cleft which cause serious health risks since it degenerates the neurons. It should not be mixed with other calcium ion inhibitors like benzoes, opioids, ssri, MAOi ++. It just should not be used for anxiety. This medicine is also addictive just like an opioid which are known to cause depressions, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and so on when you have withdrawals...
It’s ok to say all that science mambo jumbo but if like me you have tried all the SSRIs and SNRIs which takes weeks to work and you have to start again. I think I have spent nearly a year for one of them to work and they didn’t so my doctor said do I want to try pregablin? And as I was suicidal I said yes. So I took 1 and within 30 minutes my life was changed as I felt somewhere near normal so yes it should be a anti anxiety drug but all drugs effect people in different ways so it won’t be right for some people. The problem is over 60 % of people taking SSRIs and SNRIs they don’t work for them and even if they do work 3/4 weeks to start working is far to long for people who are at a crisis point. I think as do a growing number of scientists that we have been targeting the wrong area of the brain in serotonin and should be targeting dopamine which is the feel good chemical in our brains
And what should i do? My anxiety was so horrible i had to kill myself without Pregabalin!! My symptoms are still very heavy but i can survive! No other medicine helped!!
Lyrica is working well for my panic attacks and anxiety but I'm not looking forward to coming off them one day, however I will taper off rather than go cold turkey, well done for doing it, good video, plus your cute lol!
It did work wonders for me for the first 2years or so.. Anxiety and depression lifted, i felt amazing.. Now... 5 years on... And on day 5 of cold turkey, hell on earth, so please be careful...
@@liquid79 I didn't know it was going to be so bad is the honest answer, the potency of those pills didn't register with me til I tried to stop taking em. After day 9, I was still in withdrawal, vomiting and all the rest, so went my Gp who put me back on 200mg a day for a week, then tapered down by 50mg each week for 3 more weeks. Worked really well, I'm finished now, and had zero withdrawal. So yes, you DEF SHOULD not quit cold turkey 👍
If you're coming off any dowers , ghb , valium , benzos pregabalin , alcohol will help with the withdrawals but be careful coz before you know it you're end up being an alcoholic, if you're having alcohol withdrawals then ghb will work well and valium, but be careful coz you're end up going around in circles
Lyrica is the worst drug ever made. Highly addictive. Excerbates pain without you knowing it. Until you try to get off of it. Extreme pain now. Crying uncontrollabley. Extreme stabbing stomach pain and nausea. I'm bedridden now. How can Doctors prescribe this drug !!!! Everyone that uses it, is addicted, no exception. They just don't know it, because they haven't tried to get off of it. I have Lyme disease
I suffer with bpd and psychosis highs n lows and crippling anxiety after 1 day after starting 75mg of pregablin and i felt great like it stopped my anxiety .My life has changed i also take quitiapine and im now mentally alot better.However im not a drinker so its not an issue for me i also dont use benzos etc so wouldnt know.But without my meds im in hell so i vote meds taken properly all the way.
It's really good low dose for anxiety ,without all the horrendous side effects ,not drinking and taking other sedative drugs with it ,I take 50mg daily ,without problems ,!!!
Im on 550mg quitapine slow release and 50mg pregablin 3 times a day and I would definitely say its helping wonders for psychosis and GAD, cool to see positives seeing im on it the pregablin now
I don’t drink, I’ve never abused any drug and only take my prescription as advised, however I am tapering and the withdrawal is hell. I’m on an opiate which I have taken for years and do not suffer if I forget that but my chemist kept messing up my pregabalin. My doctors told me to just make sure I never ran out. Which wasn’t possible. They didn’t want me off of them so I went it alone dropping from 600 to 300 to 150 as mine are in 150mg. Finally this week I told my doctor I had to go it alone and I’m not going backwards so they have now prescribed lesser amounts. Let me tell you I am an ex smoker, I did used to party a lot and haven’t got an addictive personality. My doctor admitted then that withdrawal is not all in my head but physically it is. The withdrawal happens because the neurons in your brain are confused. Be careful taking this drug. I wish I had researched more six years ago before taking it. They still prescribe it Willy nilly in my town but my friend lives 30 minutes away and her doctors do not prescribe it at all!
Thanks freind, Jesus Christ appeared to me in a radical way and changed my life forever. I learnt that changing the way you think is superior to any drug. A doc prescribed be this for pain and I appreciate your thoughts a lot, you seem like a lovely soul that’s gone through some hard times. Respect to you freind. Much love.
What other medications did you stop taking? If you quit Fluoxetine (Prozac) cold turkey it can take a long time sometimes a couple of weeks for withdrawal symptoms to show because this drug has a long half life, I had to stop fluoxetine cold turkey due to a perforated stomach ulcer, this was blamed for the ulcer formulating in the first place, The only antidepressant I can use now is Mirtazipine and I didn’t like the side effects, I needed something for anxiety so that’s how Pregabalin came about, I was having pretty bad panic attacks everyday.
@@miakhalifa5241 me too, hope u feel better soon.. Tough it out if u can, I keep thinkin im over the worst and then it kicks back in so im using painkillers to keep symptoms as minimal as possible... I've lost 12lbs in a week.. Which is okay cause im heavy anyway.. But if can manage some anti diahrrea medicine, it will help, once I'm off this poison for real, i will never take it again.. The mellow chill was certainly NOT worth this hell.. I wish i believed what my gp told me.. I just thought she was being overly cautious.. I was wrong... 😔
Have chronic pain sciatica - I love it. 150mg 2 x daily. Am sure not normal in a little protective bubble like a stoned high. A little vision impairment. I can do more on it, I can sleep much better, cramping gone.
Hi I would like your advice I have been taking pretension for 3year & I have gained weight since taking them I take 2daily 350ml gram & I have tried to come off of them & failed every time I don't want to be in these is runing my life I am healthy eat healthy,work out & I seem to be putting on more weight it's crazy if u have any advice in coming off ..thanks🙌
Its a shit drug i took 2000mg in one day i just felt very drunk and was already intoxicated severe. It is a strange drug. It helped my pain i admit that but i never take it now i was getting it off the street here in Australia. 300mg tablets
Been on lyrica for 5 years taking 600mgs a day. With out it I would be more likely to commite suicied from the pain as my brain feels like it is tearing apart. After a year of taking it all side effects disappeared for me. However I'm scare of how I will be if the doctors ever take me off it
Progablin withdrawal iss like cold turkying of heroion and methadone for 30 yrs iwason 80mls of methadone I’m on 600 mg of lyrica and the withdrawal trying stop is just as bad believe people god bless u all
I have pregabalin prescribed for my anxiety disorder. 150mg morning, 150mg evening (but I've gone a long time only taking it in the morning.) It works ok but I don't want to take it anymore.. it's expensive af, and has many side effects. I've been without it now for 2 days and I feel incredibly nauseous and dizzy. I don't know if that is bc of the pregabalin or if it's me getting normally sick. So I guess I'll have to start taking them again tomorrow and see...
I’ve just been prescribed these due to having a condition called cervical myelopathy my vertabrae are crushing my spinal column literally took my first one 15 mins ago and my heart rate is dropping from 92 to 63 then it goes back up and I’m resting I’m also in recovery from alcohol and cannabis so I don’t want anything that is gonna effect my mental health , I’m doing my research on here and I don’t think the doctor should of prescribed me them as I’m in recovery ! I’m not taking them sod that … I don’t want to get hooked on pain meds thanks for uploading this it’s very strange that my heart rate is going up and down within minutes 😳 I’d rather suffer the pain then get caught in the cycle of addiction to pharmaceuticals . Well done on your 2 weeks x
Nie bierz zbyt długo tego gówna! 😱 Nie dość że trzepie mózg, to odstawienie jest gorsze niż odstawienie heroiny. 🙉 Próbowałem odstawić i po trzech tygodniach poddałem się! 😢 😰 Tak trudno rzucić pregabalinę. A brałem tylko 2 x 50mg dziennie! 🥶
I'm detoxing off of 3000mg of Lyrica. No that's not a typo. To me it was highly addictive and I have just gone through detox and now the last 8 days I've been going through horrible withdrawals. Don't touch it. My anxiety is so bad now that I vomit 2 or 3 times during a panic/anxiety attack. I won't ever touch it again and man am I suffering but I will never ever ever take that drug again no matter how horrible the withdrawals.
I;m now weaning off the Pregabalin by 50mg ...I was on 300mg, It hasn't been long...but I'm doing it!....Thank you for helping us see!! It's only been a week...my anxiety and moods are alittle stronger...but I'm Ok :)
@Dark Dream Your right!!...I've been going through sweats that come on fast and flue like symptoms..terrible..but Ive gone this long..I just have to keep going this way! :(....no sleep again and big time Anxiety!
I started to try to take this meds for my anxiety and back and neck pain.75mg×2,after lunch and before go to sleep.i don't really feel side effects besides headaches so far...and i don't feel this is really working either.
Me too!!..I started off on 300mg daily,still on 300 mgs...I'm finding my creativity is no longer here..I can't seem to have motivation nor energy to do anything!..My memory sucks,and I'm finding it hard to concentrate when someone is speaking to me now :( ..I'm going to talk to my pharmacy guy on how I can safely get off these!!!...I hope that Im not lost for ever!..I hope that I get ME back again. How are you doing now on these?
@@yoursoulfulconnections I am exactly the same, I think it's time I came off of it because the side effects are just getting worse but be strong, you will be able to come of it, it just might take some time.
I have been take lyrica for 3 years (General anxiety disorder with heavy psychosomatic effects) starting with 75mg up to 600mg, then tapering off by 75mg per month, now off for 2 weeks, some headaches, some nightmares, some anxiety but with fasting (5 days) and low carb diet it got better very fast
@@svenhuber6533 thx. I hope you'll get better. I heard horror stories about withdrawals and I am scared to try. I have small fiber neuropathy and spent 1 year and half trying everything to get better (diet, supplements, etc.) and still not better.
@@mitch5222 well I cannot say anything about your medical condition and how you can get better but with the withdraw it should be possible by one month 25mg down to Zero.
Have you lost the weight after stopping this. I am on 50mg.in three months with exercise I gained 4 kg.i lost weight after taking full thyroid .10kg with hard work.but this medication is making me puffy and weight gain.but I better sleep.
I've been on pregabs for ptsd and TBI for a while now. Current dose is 300mg twice a day but I have a good few times taken way over the maximum dose plus loads of booze. Luckily nothing happened to me but when I miss a dose or try and cold turkey its horrendous. Sweats, nausea, migraines, insomnia etc. Dont know why I've been put on these of all things given my brain injury as well. Im on a right cocktail of other drugs too. Cheers docs
My doctor prescribed me pregabalin for treatment of my L5-S1 disk buldge for a long period of 8-10 months. I completed 1 month without side effects and much better relief but then for some other reason, I had severe cough and took cough syrup (which usually has alchohl) and also took PG. So with in 2 days, I started getting blackouts. 5-8 seconds black outs were life threatning. I stop taking it for a while and only use once my pain is not bearable anymore
Pregabalin is a medication that works great for some & absolutely terrible for others. I took it off script to start with then requested it from the doctor as it completely changed my life & my anxiety/eupd for the better. I'm now on 150mg twice a day. Yet some of my friends who have GAD/Social anxiety find it terrible & no good and hated it. It's a really strange acting medication but I feel it gets shunned because of this. Yet I do feel because it's strange acting & almost dangerous for some it can be a risky med. All I can say is personally it has changed my life for the best. Got me free from a 15+ severe alcohol problem caused by social anxiety & keeps me 100% stable in the community. So yeah - Great for some, absolutely terrible for others. Watch out for this.
I am currently on 50mg gabica! And beer too! M terrified tht if I stopped both together I might get bad withdrawal. I have gained weight 4 kg in 3 months. Better sleep.i have got this for trigeminal neuralgia! I wanna stop this! Because I'm gaining weight! Pls let me know if I stopped will I loose weight?... Any one pls can you share the experience
Interesting- Lyrica is the most effect medication I take. I find the difference in each individuals reaction to this drug fascinating-which also beggars the point, "one size does NOT fit all." Some people such as myself can take this drug (I take 300Mg a day) without the slightest side effect. As for going off? Nary an issue. I discontinue it and never look back. No muss, no fuss-no anything. When and if my nephropathy returns, I simply begin taking the medication once again. The medical profession needs to understand and address this very REAL issue-that many humans metabolize medications very differently from the standard gibberish printed as gospel in the "PDR." (Physicians Desk Reference) Good luck!
I feel sorry for you two....I felt JUST LIKE YOU TWO, AND SOUNDED JUST LIKE YOU TWO a few years ago....I loved this drug, until it stopped loving me. For your own benefit, if you’re not feeling the withdrawal (YET) it is my strong advice to you both to QUIT WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD!! I wish I had someone to warn me....but 10 years ago, when I started taking it, and when it felt great, these warnings didn’t exist, nobody knew at the time the severe withdrawal....TODAY WE DO....ALL THESE PEOPLE CANT BE WRONG....QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD AND STOP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
Ive taken 2500mg at most in a day im alive it makes u feel like your on crack methamphetamines on that amount. Helped pain i admit. Didnt withdrawal as bad as what benzodiazepines and alcohol withdrawal IS. Dont abuse lyrica i wouldnt recommend it. 300MG MAX PPLS. anything more is stupid
I took pregabalin I was ok for 2 weeks happy as fuck but then my girl friend left me I thought I was ok but every one else thought I was mad the doc gave it me for pain it took a long time to get it out my system feel better though so good luck mate I just walk me dog now best thing ever all the best
This medication is evil. It has causes fights in my relationship with my wife cos it gives u sex problems. This drug prevents one from ejaculating n this is the problem
Alcohol benzodiazepine heroin in that order of physcial withdrawals this drug is easy to get off. But then again i kicked suboxone heroin benzodiazepines just not alcohol as of the seizures. Working at it. I know my drugs. But i dont recommend drugs to anyone it can literally take over your whole entire life.
I really thought lyrica was going to be the answer to my nerve pain. Started at a VERY low dose, and it helped me get some sleep. Dr got me up to 150mg a day 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I realized I was beginning to lose my mind. Weird, weird frightening side effects. I have tried about a half dozen different meds without any substantial improvement. I'm only 49 years old. I won't make it another 10 years if I can't find something that works for the pain without causing drug-induced insanity.
I’m up to 300mg, I feel like I’m seasick, I can’t go into shops without holding on to railings etc, aniexty still bad so need to have conversation I think 😖
@@codyrebelcb gabapentin made me feel a bit sick and but pregabalin makes me feel mellow and good, i take 600mg a day but would like to try a higher does. what does you on?
I‘m on 300mg and if I miss / skip a dose I get restless / irritated and have trouble falling asleep. The moment I redose these effects subside. Thankfully I do not experience other side effects and it is actually helping my underlying condition but I guess the day I decide to finally get off it probably wont be easy.
Ive never had any withdrawal symptoms, i took over 1000mg of pregab one day and then i would stop for a week or two. I would take from 150 to 600+. The most ive took in one day is probably 1500-1700mg. But i never have any withdrawal symptoms. I dont have an urge to take it when i do stop. But when i go on it its for anxiety, i take 150 on a daily basis before school. I have abused it alot, ive snorted it, over used it. But once ive stopped for a couple weeks because the presciption ran out, i didnt have urges to take it and i had no withdrawal symptoms.
Hello, I am in Ohio and I want to get Lyrica in any way. Do you know how to take it? I do not suffer from anything, I just love this medicine. Thank you ♥️
dam dude idk why but im super sensitive to pregab but im really tolerant to things like Valium and Ativan but the max I can do is 900mg without feeling abit uncomfortable but the high is incredible and thats why its addictive to some very calm nice warm body hug with pretty in your face euphoria atleast for me remember im just genetically sensitive to this stuff stay strong mate hope you can find a way to make your pregab use better
on 100mg for a few weeks then tried 165mg twice a day for 3 days but no help so now I'm weaning off and it's hellish. The 165mg are not made to be broken but I had no choice. I have severe anxiety feel shaky and sweat and have the runs. I will ask the doctor for 25mg and taper from there. Good luck to you and all who have to go through this. Question? will 25mg be easier to stop? I assume it will. Thanks
I take 400mg every evening I used to take 200mg but I asked my Dr to up them as I was still in pain, I take them for my hips and have been on them for about 6 years now, along with them I take 20mg of amitryptaline and also 7.5mg of zopiclone or I can't sleep, the only side effects I get from them is drowsiness that's why I take them in the evening, I do also get a really dry mouth. I've tried everything the Dr's gave me , like mertazapine but nothing really helps apart from the pregabalin.
Bro my friend is taking about 10 capsules daily of 300mg since last year along with two or the 3 cough syrup and at night he drink alcohol 😭I'm from Punjab india.i Stop taking since last week.my dose was 300 to 600 mg I can't able to sleep till now
I try to kick methadone with pregabalin. I what I notice is ... the damn pregabalin is quite the same, really! both substances interacts with the same receptors. man, I feel like shit. I have a strange headache ... and I'm heavily unmotivated ... How long can I take pregabalin without getting addicted to it? Can someone tell me this? but con quest, I take my hat off to you for going cold turkey! that's brave! greetings from good old germany!
@Dark Dream i know your pain as ive gone through this a few times, i think your right staying on a low dose till you feel ready to jump off, keep me updated if you can, i wish you all the best and if you need to talk, just holla, sean
Im on 300mg twice daily, 70mg of methadone and 5mg of diazapam twice daily.. for opiate dependence, fibromyelgia , PTSD etc etc... my pain is still off the charts! it worked ok at first but its become less effective over time. My question to anyone is NIGHT TERRORS?? weird buzzing feeling bin my head and the sound of water in my ears almost... which leads to hearing noises and feeling presences etc,, its scary. if i go to sleep when its happening I have horrible dreams that mimic me being awake in bed... PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING??? Its not hypnogogic or hypnopompic and i am awake when it starts. thanks
Its the devils drug. I was on it two months and my withdrawal was indescribable. Something from a horror movie, my parents had to fly in from a different country to help me. Couldnt sleep, couldnt eat, could drink water, vomiting, shaking, feeling like things crawling on me, time slowed to the point i couldnt stand it. I cant stress enough how much i think this drug should be banned. Evil from the devil himself
Guys very right , Pregabalin,Xanax and valium when used with drink can cancel out both of your brains hemispheres literally making you....not you , and you are capable of ANYTHING. I took xanax with booze q good few times and all i have now are flashbacks of doing crazy shit i dont even know weather i did or not that where totally out of my charter and nature ....be very careful stay away from drink on gabba drugs.
I've only been on lyrica/pregabalin for the last 3 weeks and I've been pretty depressed since, but I'm giving it a chance, I need it for my pain. I did a vlog on it, come check it out. Sooooo absolutely no drinking? Also, I am moving on up slowly ...
These medications cause severe breathing problems and impairs lung function. I'm currently on gabapentin which is very similar to lyrica. I been currently on it for the last 4 months. I was prescribed gabapentin 3× a day 1800mg in the hospital in inpatient treatment related to suicidal thoughts and depression. In the last 4 years I been on and off of gabapentin at one point 2400mg a day. I'm starting a slow taper with the permission from my doctor. I'm starting 900mg a day instead of 1200. I hope to come off of it completely in 2 weeks time. I've had severe insomnia and haven't slept or very little at all when I started the gabapentin. My breathing problems have gotten progressively worse since I started gabapentin, I never used to have any breathing problems in my life until I started this drug and my mood swings have gotten so severe. I wish I knew that then that that's what was causing it. I look at every possible thing it can be. My mood has gotten worse. It feels like someone or something is choking you to death it's a really scary feeling. I cant breathe normally anymore. This is becoming a Huge Problem for me and big pharma, the fda and the companies that manufacture and make these drugs really need to do something about these 2 drugs lyrica and gabapentin. I started to use gabapentin to get off opioids, heroine, oxcycodone. Your better off going cold turkey with medical supervision. I can honestly say it's more addictive than anything I've ever had or was put on More addictive than opioids in my opinion. Big pharma and the government doesn't want to deal with controlled substances anymore and the prescribing of controlled substances. The problem is big pharma is just creating another problem just like what happend to purdue pharma for negleciance and the manipulation and lies about the use of oxycontin. Just like what happens to Purdue pharma with oxycontin, the 750 lawsuits plus and counting and the fact that the drug is still on the market. It will happend to the makers of gabapentin too if they dont do something about this now, unbelievable.
The mistake was the doc increasing your dose way too quickly IMHO - if he/she had increased by 25mg every other week then things might have turned out very differently. For me it was fantastic for back pain, highly recommend it!

I've never taken these before, came across this vid in my feed and it looked interesting. I just wanted to share something i learned from being prescribed a pain pill for my back. The doc prescribed something he thought would help, i told him i had some other pain pill previously and i would like to take that again. He told me i could get both. When i went to the pharmacist to pick them up, the pharmacist looked alarmed and cautioned me that they cant both be taken together, that could cause a stroke. I was in shock that my doctor allowed this and didn't even warn me. Needless to say, make sure all your docs know of all meds and do your research as the man in the vid stated and good luck to you all.
Doctors often prescribe medications that interact without realizing, it's dangerous and it ends up being your pharmacy workers that have to pick up these problems
Wat were the meds
Absolutely loving your content mate. So so proud of you for speaking out to the public... sometimes this is a great way to heal yourself by healing others and I think you are definitely making a positive impact mate..... pills are prescribed as a quick fix to get us off the doctors cases and out of the waiting rooms because the government makes more money from prescription medication that they do anything else...... I will use a quote that I always return to.... pills only numb a wound so we can’t feel the pain but I unfortunately that wound is still bleeding and eventually you will bleed out... We need to heal these wounds not mask them and the way forward is speaking out like your doing mate.. speaking to loved ones, best friends, mentors whoever it may be... just please don’t hold things in because that’s when It all builds and builds and eventually like anything that pressure will eventually explode..,, thank you again Conor for sharing your journey and maybe giving people who watch the the confidence to speak out and quite simply get it off their chest..... It’s not what you have in your life that matters, it’s who you have... 💙💙💙
You are correct pills aren’t the answer for people who have suffered with a great trauma as they need councilling etc but for people like me who have no reason to suffer depression and anxiety due to a chemical imbalance then the only answer is medication and all other treatments like CBT are a waste of time
Seems like this stuff is prescribed for a multitude of different ailments. I'm on it for severe nerve pain/damage from a horrendous ankle dislocation that broke it too and ripped nerves and tendons apart too. Handy to know about your experiences and what to watch, so thanks for that. Can't be easy to talk about so well done.
Hey, I am looking for a potential alternative to Hydrocodone. I had a severely herniated lumbar disc and the nucleus stuck to the nerve root. I got one of the best neurosurgeons in the world to fix me (artificial disc replacement in Germany) and they cleaned out the nerve root under the microscope, too, but I am still getting periodic inflammations 7 weeks post-operation. How is pregabalin working for your nerve pain? I am just looking for a plan B for my nerve pain/inflammations, if my doc decides that he can't prescribe opioids anymore. Nerve pain is absolutely horrendous, by the way, for anyone who has never experienced it.
I quit it quite easily, despite being on 600mg per day. Can't relate, but I was very scared while quitting due to documents I've seen. Now it's been long time off.
You're very right about thing waiting in the corner! Too long story to tell now via phone, tho. :) Keep being strong, mate. Hope everything's going in the right direction with ya, you deserve it: don't let your mental issues tell you otherwise, ever. I send understanding of the struggle, support and love! ❤
Zey Thanks a lot :)
How to get rid of the effects of Lyrica in the body
Got it for 6 months now. Just taking 2 times 50mg a day. Sometimes even 25mg a day and I feel so much calmer more confident and social. Sometimes I don't take it for 2 days and I don't feel the rush to take it. Sometimes I think if I should just quit it. But for me it helped tremendously on low dose.
Something what also helped me was getting into stoicism. The mindsets later me handle the downs of life better.
See if they'll hook you
@@SomeTwatt they wont.
Do you side effects on the low dose you take? Does it make you hungry?
@@lilij1915 nope. Not hungry.
@@SomeTwatt lol using them for a few months and multiple times stopped cold turkey for like 1 week. No sides no addiction.
I'm on 350mg ha umm can honestly say if I try to stop I go phychotic so they won't take me off them now so I have to have yearly blood test to make sure my liver doesn't quit on me. The doctors have really screwed me.
350 daily ?how many years?i took 10 50 mg and im scared because i have weak liver and kidnies so probably this stuff stayed a lot of time on my system' having trouble concentrating and with memomy only on that dose also weak muscles
I had trouble coming of them but they drove me mad so i no choice i hope you get better i think the only way would be to reduce or contact a drug rehab center as alot of people have problems with prescribed drugs like my self and thats what i had to do all the best i hope it works out for you .
I took it and died
They have done the same to me.
Ben Crossley whaat you the fuck you alive then bitch just hatin on medications
Just got these today for back pain , not suffering from any mental illness but thanks for the heads up and all the best mate hope ya get better
Brandon Kirwan Cheers mate, be safe
I'm on 600 mg a day and I have tried coming off them in the past and it's near on impossible to come off I'm literally climbing the walls if I don't take them It's far harder to to come off than oppiates. Well done mate stay strong
Moynan Playz i was on heroin for a long time and when i stop i had to go on 350mg. And whit all respekt, heroin is 1000x hader.. but that dont make this easy - not at all - maybe its difrent for me i dont No...
wish the best for you in you Road ahead..
Yes mate I'm a recovering herion user and I take pregabalin but fuck me..... It'd soooo much harder to come off than opiates
@@bambamgaming7166 are you taking the piss the or being serious either way I’m not offended it’s just for me I’ve taken codiene, Dihydrocodiene, morphine and OxyContin and yes it’s not pleasant withdrawing from them and I know it is not easy stopping taking them but for me trying to come off pregablin is like a living hell but as I always say drugs affect people in different ways so when someone says it’s far easier to come off pregablin than opioids I believe them but for It’s the opposite and at the end of the day it’s not a competition I feel for anyone withdrawing from a drug and really struggling. I also took fentanyl once but that was not by choice I broke my leg and the doctors gave it to me before the anastetic wore off but that shit scares the shit out of me as you can literally die from having one grain to much and anyone taking it by choice is really playing Russian roulette with there life
@@restlessblend different drugs affect people different ways and I believe you when you say heroin is harder to come off than pregablin and I feel your pain as coming off drugs are a living hell so all the best to you with your recovery
I feel you I’m on 600mg a day aswell it’s hell
I came of some tablets 4-5 months ago and Iv been feeling better not had one break down been to my mental health doctor today and he's trying to pill me up on pregabalin Iv tried so many tablets when Iv not wanted to for 6 years Iv had so many bad side affects from them all I'm 100% not trying these! Just reassures me not to.. and be comfortable in my decision to say no.. Iv found what's helping me at the moment is clean eating and exercising even if I can't leave the house sometimes just a small indoor work out.. Iv not had one break down in 4 months being on completely nothing I was on loads of different tablets for 6 years having maybe 1-2 a week breakdowns, I still obviously have my mental health issues but I'm 100x worse on tablets .. I live with my mental health and I know more about myself then any doctor can to say here is a pill to fix you .. all minds are different no two are the same so I don't get how one pill can fix so many minds? There just dopers at the end of the day and I don't wanna be doped out, I get it's good for some people it's just not for me
Thank you for this video because I'm not getting validation from doctors or pharmacies about how horrific the withdrawals are.
They refuse to listen to people and refuse to see the damages it causes. When my DR saw what it did to me when trying to get off it he only prescribed it to people who were within in a year or two of death!!! I had to quit 9 years ago because of the weird thinking that had begun after 5 years of being on it. My life has been a living hell due to Lyrica ever since. I thought nerve pain was bad but it's not that much at all, compared to what pain I deal with now.
@@bunsmom I hope you're on the mend now. It took me 2 years to be completely free of Lyrica and I'm so glad that I did. Life was spiralling out of control and the thoughts that darken the mind whilst withdrawing from it were scary to say the least. Stay strong both of you, you're both in my thoughts.
No problem :) glad it helped
I was put on Lyrica-Preg. Quickly up to 600mg a day along with amatriptaline (not sure how it is spelt) along with high dose Vensil XR . . diazipam and beta blockers. Last summer I had a breakdown and had no Idea what to do because here in Kent there are no services to help when your world blows up. I am a disabled single mum caring for my severely Autistic son and have recently been diagnosed with Autism myself. It is a Cronic situation.
JodisDream I wish you all the best in finding the right way forward!
Thank you - - - Me to x
JodisDream God bless u. Hope ur better. 💖🙏
JodisDream i got the same problem i want ask you if you want Talk With me
I have a very similar situation to you ,but what the hell was your doctor ,thinking of allowing you to have all these toxic amount of drugs ,let alone mixing them together, they are now doing a huge clamp down on ,a lot of addictive drugs ,as there has been so many deaths now reported ,but that does not yet apply to lyrica yet ,it should be a controlled drug !!! Shame on your doctor ,it's horrendous how they dish out these drugs like sweets ,they should damm well be looking at practical help for you and your son ,so that you can get some respite care ,for you and him ,but it's a fight all the way to get any help, without shouting out loud ,even worse when your ill yourself ,good luck ,I totally empathize ,!!
I am off and on with Lyrica. Anywhere from 600 to 1000mg per day. I built up to these higher doses over time. Rather I quit cold turkey or step down it doesn't matter for me. I go through 4 days of withdrawals. Day 1 is easy. No appetite, not thirsty, not interested in much. Day 2 starts to suck. Stomach upset, gassy, no appetite at all, not thirsty and major anxiety and feelings of sadness, can't sleep well, bad dreams. Day 3 is the same. Day 4 everything improves. By day 5 everything is better, but there's cravings for Lyrica. It's not easy, but not impossible. Be careful with the seizure risk. I noticed a distorted sense of taste and smell before the seizures I've had. I hope this helps. I don't plan on taking any more Lyrica. The side effects willkill me.
I’m on day 3. I needed this comment! X
@@denni8884 Very good! Stay strong. By tomorrow you will start feeling more connected and once again a part of the human race. You will be fine. Make sure and remember this detox. It could keep you from doing it all over again. If you do decide to go back to Lyrica there's no judgement from me. It took me about a dozen trys.
wow you are lucky
For me pregablin has been a life saver but all drugs effect people in different ways. After many years of drinking just as everyone else does I decided to give up 18 months ago as every time I drink I get really depressed and anxious Which normally lifts after a few days but a number of times it has led to a major depressive episode and when I was younger nobody not even the doctors linked drink and depression and it’s only been 4/5 years that I have realised how bad it is for me.
You will be fine my man...you have a lot of protectors and protection around you..love and all the best x0x0
I have been off these for 3 weeks now. I tapered off for 4 months and now until taking nothing at all for the past 3 weeks now I still don’t feel 100 percent At the start it felt like I was a walking zombie and didn’t want to leave my bed. I had sero motivation and I’ve had dramatic weight loss and had a hell of a time coming off them and all these different feelings of discomfort came along with it. My body temp raised an awfully and I’m experiencing a bad case of anxiety and depression as symptom of withdrawal, what I can say is it’s been 3 weeks now coming off the drug and I feel
My appetite has naturally picked up and I’m having a bit more of energy about me now where as if I taken 300mg per day I would be bouncing with energy and able
To do anything i wanted really the drug motivated me to do everything but once I came off it I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow and my brain thought completely differently. Slowly getting myself off this poison I feel like the more I progress and work on my self care the better and hope as the weeks / months go by without taking it I get my old true self back again , long road and still early days for me coz I’ve been clean for 3 weeks , I don’t have much memory loss now but dr has put me on diazepam to help with sleeping at night and temp sleeping tabs because this was seriously having a bad impact on my life when I stopped taking the lyrica my insomnia flared up bad again. What I found that helped me was making yourself (eat) and drink plenty of water and restore your natural energy back I know there is a lot ahead for me to get to the place I want to be , I forget who I was before I started taking this evil drug but I do believe the body is an amazing thing and it will be in full recovery as long as it’s
Completely clear of my system I would never want to look
At one again seeing I’ve came this far is there is no turning back
I was put on these for anxiety and I found out they could be abused so I started taking more than I should and I felt on top of the world but when I come off them I literally was paralysed with anxiety so I started taking them properly and I have not gone more than 3 days without them as it’s too hard and they are a part of my life now and why put myself through hell when I get the cure free as I’m disabled and In England you don’t have to pay for your medication if you are out of work
Thankyou for sharing your story, im going through this myself at the minute your comment will help me through now I know what to expect ❤️👍
How is it going mate?
Please How to get rid of the effects of Lyrica in the body
You lost weight on lyrica? I thought it was the opposite
i am on pregabalin.....clonazepam bupornorphine.......also a 20 year heroin addict...............do not take pregabalin and alcohol...it is the worse mix...very dangerous......yes pregabs work if u take them as prescribed..the drug itself does help many people...but like all drugs...its down to the person....i have loads of experience with drugs....just saying...do not mix with alcohol.
I’m dependent to both buprenorphine and Pregabalin myself and can honestly say getting off either of them is a living nightmare.
Agree completely here mate Pregabalin & Alcohol is a toxic, dangerous mix. You can end up in a black out stage, waking up with no memory & severely ill.
Dylan, im guessing your from the uk, as ive been on similar meds in the past.
blurry vision, fatigue, memory trouble ( can't remember a book very well, etc ) from 600 to 525 right now, the key is to go really slow, it's really addictive, doctors should take pregabaline before the patient himself, that would prevent.
did you're luck pull through since it's been 3 years on the pregabalin
@@beau1112 still 40mgr of pregabalin, it's hard, really hard, i'm near the end
@@MyriophyllumTuberculatum I'm sorry to hear that. Youl make it! Don't give up! The drug doesn't own you! You can do this!!!! You will not fail you will not cry! Youl learn by the lesson now pick up your feet. Straighten you're shoulders. And take some deep breathes for me.
You're gonna make it bud. You're very close. No shame. I've been a heroin addict most my life. & benzos. I know they're very damn difficult
But it's possible
Go for it!
@@beau1112 thanks, i'm near the end yes, it's good to read that, i hate those drugs
I'm on 600 mg per day and am 2 weeks in coming off of them. I made my own schedule. I've never met anyone else who has been on them for 12 years like me. So with the schedule I come off 10% per month. In total its going to take 2 years, because 10% of 90% is less than the initial first 10%. The withdrawal is still brute, but its better than cold turkey which i have tried 2x in 12 years.
I've just started this as of last night, to help with my pain and anxiety from various physical and mental health issues. Also taking escitalopram. So looking forward to the side effect from going onto this, as well as the withdrawal effect from coming off cocodamol after 8 months use.
How is things going in that matter
Im on 100 x3 a day. So sleepy, sleep 14hrs at night. And so dizzy. Also on 300mg venlafaxine. I've had pregabalin be4 but the side effects wernt this bad. Last time I weaned off them very slowly due to weight gain. If I start gaining again I will stop. I get the odd muscle twitch too. I've tried all the anti psycotics and they were no good. Pregab is my last hope for anxiety. I cannot leave my house. 😢
Hey im taking this at 250mg + 5 others
Escitapram 10mg
Matazapine 30mg
Clorpramazine 25mg
Zopiclone 7.5mg
Im having mermory loss or blibs in remmbering and mind goes blank for abit anixity is still bad though :\
Stop all this garbage right today.
I'd say if your doctor is considering pregabalin, try out gabapentin first. It's similar but lower potency and much easier to hone your personal dosage since each bump or decrease won't be as drastic of a change.👍. Best of luck to y'all!
I’m on a similar medication gabapentin can’t drink large quantities with it but it works I never tried going off of it since I started it two weeks ago it’s working great heard it’s for partial seizures anxiety depression similar to pregablin but it’s less potent
im going through the worst time I have nearly killed myself due to the constant torture, mental torture i'm really struggling. stopped cold turkey due to me not being able to buy them anymore. im waiting for an appointment to see if anything can get done im considering going to hospital 2nd day off them.
Looking back at these videos would you still avoid taken them ?
I think I am in the same position as you. Want to come off Pregabalin now but worried about the withdrawal! Thanks for this video
Pregabalin works almost like a weak opioid but with different effects on the GABAergic presynaptic terminals by regulating calcium ion reuptake, and it`s a pretty new drug so they want to paint it as a "wonderdrug" even though they know it`s dangerous. This effect leads to there being to much calcium ions in the presynaptic cleft which cause serious health risks since it degenerates the neurons. It should not be mixed with other calcium ion inhibitors like benzoes, opioids, ssri, MAOi ++. It just should not be used for anxiety. This medicine is also addictive just like an opioid which are known to cause depressions, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and so on when you have withdrawals...
My GP just prescribed this and I'm taking Fluoxetine? He said its ok to take together. I darent take it now.
It’s ok to say all that science mambo jumbo but if like me you have tried all the SSRIs and SNRIs which takes weeks to work and you have to start again. I think I have spent nearly a year for one of them to work and they didn’t so my doctor said do I want to try pregablin? And as I was suicidal I said yes. So I took 1 and within 30 minutes my life was changed as I felt somewhere near normal so yes it should be a anti anxiety drug but all drugs effect people in different ways so it won’t be right for some people. The problem is over 60 % of people taking SSRIs and SNRIs they don’t work for them and even if they do work 3/4 weeks to start working is far to long for people who are at a crisis point. I think as do a growing number of scientists that we have been targeting the wrong area of the brain in serotonin and should be targeting dopamine which is the feel good chemical in our brains
And what should i do? My anxiety was so horrible i had to kill myself without Pregabalin!! My symptoms are still very heavy but i can survive! No other medicine helped!!
What is the solution to get rid of it please?
Lyrica is working well for my panic attacks and anxiety but I'm not looking forward to coming off them one day, however I will taper off rather than go cold turkey, well done for doing it, good video, plus your cute lol!
JKBManagement Haha Thankyou!
It did work wonders for me for the first 2years or so.. Anxiety and depression lifted, i felt amazing.. Now... 5 years on... And on day 5 of cold turkey, hell on earth, so please be careful...
@@liquid79 I didn't know it was going to be so bad is the honest answer, the potency of those pills didn't register with me til I tried to stop taking em. After day 9, I was still in withdrawal, vomiting and all the rest, so went my Gp who put me back on 200mg a day for a week, then tapered down by 50mg each week for 3 more weeks. Worked really well, I'm finished now, and had zero withdrawal. So yes, you DEF SHOULD not quit cold turkey 👍
If you're coming off any dowers , ghb , valium , benzos pregabalin , alcohol will help with the withdrawals but be careful coz before you know it you're end up being an alcoholic, if you're having alcohol withdrawals then ghb will work well and valium, but be careful coz you're end up going around in circles
Just starting Lyrica.. kind of scared now 😞
Lyrica is the worst drug ever made. Highly addictive. Excerbates pain without you knowing it. Until you try to get off of it. Extreme pain now. Crying uncontrollabley. Extreme stabbing stomach pain and nausea. I'm bedridden now. How can Doctors prescribe this drug !!!! Everyone that uses it, is addicted, no exception. They just don't know it, because they haven't tried to get off of it. I have Lyme disease
Going to sound like quackery but for me lavander oil ( silexin) works just as well as pregabilin
I had pregabline after a hernia surgery, but I had massive hallucinations which were mostly scary so stopped it after one tablet
I suffer with bpd and psychosis highs n lows and crippling anxiety after 1 day after starting 75mg of pregablin and i felt great like it stopped my anxiety .My life has changed i also take quitiapine and im now mentally alot better.However im not a drinker so its not an issue for me i also dont use benzos etc so wouldnt know.But without my meds im in hell so i vote meds taken properly all the way.
Good to read you are dealing with it! I want to start Pregabalin but so much negative stuff bout it makes me really nervouse.
which benzo do you Use bcuz pregabalin combined With lorazepam can endlich fatal
It's really good low dose for anxiety ,without all the horrendous side effects ,not drinking and taking other sedative drugs with it ,I take 50mg daily ,without problems ,!!!
Im on 550mg quitapine slow release and 50mg pregablin 3 times a day and I would definitely say its helping wonders for psychosis and GAD, cool to see positives seeing im on it the pregablin now
I don’t drink, I’ve never abused any drug and only take my prescription as advised, however I am tapering and the withdrawal is hell. I’m on an opiate which I have taken for years and do not suffer if I forget that but my chemist kept messing up my pregabalin. My doctors told me to just make sure I never ran out. Which wasn’t possible. They didn’t want me off of them so I went it alone dropping from 600 to 300 to 150 as mine are in 150mg. Finally this week I told my doctor I had to go it alone and I’m not going backwards so they have now prescribed lesser amounts. Let me tell you I am an ex smoker, I did used to party a lot and haven’t got an addictive personality. My doctor admitted then that withdrawal is not all in my head but physically it is. The withdrawal happens because the neurons in your brain are confused. Be careful taking this drug. I wish I had researched more six years ago before taking it. They still prescribe it Willy nilly in my town but my friend lives 30 minutes away and her doctors do not prescribe it at all!
Thanks freind, Jesus Christ appeared to me in a radical way and changed my life forever. I learnt that changing the way you think is superior to any drug. A doc prescribed be this for pain and I appreciate your thoughts a lot, you seem like a lovely soul that’s gone through some hard times. Respect to you freind. Much love.
Jesus appeared to you???🤔🤔
What other medications did you stop taking? If you quit Fluoxetine (Prozac) cold turkey it can take a long time sometimes a couple of weeks for withdrawal symptoms to show because this drug has a long half life, I had to stop fluoxetine cold turkey due to a perforated stomach ulcer, this was blamed for the ulcer formulating in the first place, The only antidepressant I can use now is Mirtazipine and I didn’t like the side effects, I needed something for anxiety so that’s how Pregabalin came about, I was having pretty bad panic attacks everyday.
Been prescribed 600 to 800 mg a day for 5 years. Ran out of them and now attempting a cold turkey... On day4 and feel incredibly low..
Same. im also off but I can't sleep.
@@miakhalifa5241 me too, hope u feel better soon.. Tough it out if u can, I keep thinkin im over the worst and then it kicks back in so im using painkillers to keep symptoms as minimal as possible... I've lost 12lbs in a week.. Which is okay cause im heavy anyway.. But if can manage some anti diahrrea medicine, it will help, once I'm off this poison for real, i will never take it again.. The mellow chill was certainly NOT worth this hell.. I wish i believed what my gp told me.. I just thought she was being overly cautious.. I was wrong... 😔
@@josyjump god! , We can do it brother.. I'm already underweight brother..
Thank you so much for your video. Really helpful.
Have chronic pain sciatica - I love it. 150mg 2 x daily. Am sure not normal in a little protective bubble like a stoned high. A little vision impairment.
I can do more on it, I can sleep much better, cramping gone.
Hi I would like your advice I have been taking pretension for 3year & I have gained weight since taking them I take 2daily 350ml gram & I have tried to come off of them & failed every time I don't want to be in these is runing my life I am healthy eat healthy,work out & I seem to be putting on more weight it's crazy if u have any advice in coming off ..thanks🙌
Its a shit drug i took 2000mg in one day i just felt very drunk and was already intoxicated severe. It is a strange drug. It helped my pain i admit that but i never take it now i was getting it off the street here in Australia. 300mg tablets
@consistency 14 i take 30x75 Mg == 2250 ... stop play with words
Been on lyrica for 5 years taking 600mgs a day. With out it I would be more likely to commite suicied from the pain as my brain feels like it is tearing apart. After a year of taking it all side effects disappeared for me. However I'm scare of how I will be if the doctors ever take me off it
Progablin withdrawal iss like cold turkying of heroion and methadone for 30 yrs iwason 80mls of methadone I’m on 600 mg of lyrica and the withdrawal trying stop is just as bad believe people god bless u all
I have pregabalin prescribed for my anxiety disorder. 150mg morning, 150mg evening (but I've gone a long time only taking it in the morning.) It works ok but I don't want to take it anymore.. it's expensive af, and has many side effects.
I've been without it now for 2 days and I feel incredibly nauseous and dizzy. I don't know if that is bc of the pregabalin or if it's me getting normally sick. So I guess I'll have to start taking them again tomorrow and see...
@Original World yeah I know
I just went thru four days of cold turkey and felt absolutely horrible until I took a second dose
I’ve just been prescribed these due to having a condition called cervical myelopathy my vertabrae are crushing my spinal column literally took my first one 15 mins ago and my heart rate is dropping from 92 to 63 then it goes back up and I’m resting I’m also in recovery from alcohol and cannabis so I don’t want anything that is gonna effect my mental health , I’m doing my research on here and I don’t think the doctor should of prescribed me them as I’m in recovery ! I’m not taking them sod that … I don’t want to get hooked on pain meds thanks for uploading this it’s very strange that my heart rate is going up and down within minutes 😳 I’d rather suffer the pain then get caught in the cycle of addiction to pharmaceuticals . Well done on your 2 weeks x
Nie bierz zbyt długo tego gówna! 😱 Nie dość że trzepie mózg, to odstawienie jest gorsze niż odstawienie heroiny. 🙉 Próbowałem odstawić i po trzech tygodniach poddałem się! 😢 😰 Tak trudno rzucić pregabalinę. A brałem tylko 2 x 50mg dziennie! 🥶
Thank you for this
You have a spirit around you...observation 👍💜
took the words out of my eyes. someones watching over him
i seen the orbs aswell lol
1st Corinthians 15,1-4 is the gospel KJB
Its dust
clan Macbeth I really don’t believe in orbs or spirits sorry.
Trust me - get some psychotherapy, medications are bollux.
I'm detoxing off of 3000mg of Lyrica. No that's not a typo. To me it was highly addictive and I have just gone through detox and now the last 8 days I've been going through horrible withdrawals. Don't touch it. My anxiety is so bad now that I vomit 2 or 3 times during a panic/anxiety attack. I won't ever touch it again and man am I suffering but I will never ever ever take that drug again no matter how horrible the withdrawals.
Thanks, Mate! Very helpful.
I;m now weaning off the Pregabalin by 50mg ...I was on 300mg, It hasn't been long...but I'm doing it!....Thank you for helping us see!! It's only been a week...my anxiety and moods are alittle stronger...but I'm Ok :)
@Dark Dream Your right!!...I've been going through sweats that come on fast and flue like symptoms..terrible..but Ive gone this long..I just have to keep going this way! :(....no sleep again and big time Anxiety!
I started to try to take this meds for my anxiety and back and neck pain.75mg×2,after lunch and before go to sleep.i don't really feel side effects besides headaches so far...and i don't feel this is really working either.
Kratom seems to help with peoples withdrawls..wonder if it helps with lyrica also.
I tore many ligaments and tendons due to Lyrica induced muscle atrophy.
Doctors are biggest drug dealers going
Thank you for this 🧡
Lily Gardner You’re welcome!
I wish I saw this video before I was prescribed it, currently on 300mg daily.
Me too!!..I started off on 300mg daily,still on 300 mgs...I'm finding my creativity is no longer here..I can't seem to have motivation nor energy to do anything!..My memory sucks,and I'm finding it hard to concentrate when someone is speaking to me now :( ..I'm going to talk to my pharmacy guy on how I can safely get off these!!!...I hope that Im not lost for ever!..I hope that I get ME back again. How are you doing now on these?
@@yoursoulfulconnections I am exactly the same, I think it's time I came off of it because the side effects are just getting worse but be strong, you will be able to come of it, it just might take some time.
But do you feel better? Did this work after coming off them?
Dale Fixter yes, feel much much better! 300 mg daily, so much pain relief.
Lyrica did nothing for me. Escitalopram is much better
I have been take lyrica for 3 years (General anxiety disorder with heavy psychosomatic effects) starting with 75mg up to 600mg, then tapering off by 75mg per month, now off for 2 weeks, some headaches, some nightmares, some anxiety but with fasting (5 days) and low carb diet it got better very fast
How are you now?
I am fine now over 6 weeks of the lyrics no anxiety but some psychosomatic symptoms like apple in the through remains
@@svenhuber6533 thx. I hope you'll get better. I heard horror stories about withdrawals and I am scared to try. I have small fiber neuropathy and spent 1 year and half trying everything to get better (diet, supplements, etc.) and still not better.
@@mitch5222 well I cannot say anything about your medical condition and how you can get better but with the withdraw it should be possible by one month 25mg down to Zero.
Have you lost the weight after stopping this. I am on 50mg.in three months with exercise I gained 4 kg.i lost weight after taking full thyroid .10kg with hard work.but this medication is making me puffy and weight gain.but I better sleep.
I've been on pregabs for ptsd and TBI for a while now. Current dose is 300mg twice a day but I have a good few times taken way over the maximum dose plus loads of booze. Luckily nothing happened to me but when I miss a dose or try and cold turkey its horrendous. Sweats, nausea, migraines, insomnia etc. Dont know why I've been put on these of all things given my brain injury as well. Im on a right cocktail of other drugs too. Cheers docs
If I don’t take them I get the same effects as you which I’m not sure if it’s my anxiety or withdrawal
My doctor prescribed me pregabalin for treatment of my L5-S1 disk buldge for a long period of 8-10 months. I completed 1 month without side effects and much better relief but then for some other reason, I had severe cough and took cough syrup (which usually has alchohl) and also took PG. So with in 2 days, I started getting blackouts. 5-8 seconds black outs were life threatning. I stop taking it for a while and only use once my pain is not bearable anymore
I'm with you I am still withdrawing from this Extremely dangerous drug
Pregabalin is a medication that works great for some & absolutely terrible for others. I took it off script to start with then requested it from the doctor as it completely changed my life & my anxiety/eupd for the better. I'm now on 150mg twice a day. Yet some of my friends who have GAD/Social anxiety find it terrible & no good and hated it. It's a really strange acting medication but I feel it gets shunned because of this. Yet I do feel because it's strange acting & almost dangerous for some it can be a risky med. All I can say is personally it has changed my life for the best. Got me free from a 15+ severe alcohol problem caused by social anxiety & keeps me 100% stable in the community.
So yeah - Great for some, absolutely terrible for others. Watch out for this.
I am currently on 50mg gabica! And beer too! M terrified tht if I stopped both together I might get bad withdrawal. I have gained weight 4 kg in 3 months. Better sleep.i have got this for trigeminal neuralgia!
I wanna stop this! Because I'm gaining weight! Pls let me know if I stopped will I loose weight?...
Any one pls can you share the experience
Interesting-
Lyrica is the most effect medication I take.
I find the difference in each individuals reaction to this drug fascinating-which also beggars the point, "one size does NOT fit all."
Some people such as myself can take this drug (I take 300Mg a day) without the slightest side effect.
As for going off?
Nary an issue. I discontinue it and never look back. No muss, no fuss-no anything.
When and if my nephropathy returns, I simply begin taking the medication once again.
The medical profession needs to understand and address this very REAL issue-that many humans metabolize medications
very differently from the standard gibberish printed as gospel in the "PDR." (Physicians Desk Reference)
Good luck!
i take 200 mg prescribed...a wonder drug
I feel sorry for you two....I felt JUST LIKE YOU TWO, AND SOUNDED JUST LIKE YOU TWO a few years ago....I loved this drug, until it stopped loving me.
For your own benefit, if you’re not feeling the withdrawal (YET) it is my strong advice to you both to QUIT WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD!! I wish I had someone to warn me....but 10 years ago, when I started taking it, and when it felt great, these warnings didn’t exist, nobody knew at the time the severe withdrawal....TODAY WE DO....ALL THESE PEOPLE CANT BE WRONG....QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD AND STOP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
dawnehelene59 Stop taking Pregabalin.
Ive taken 2500mg at most in a day im alive it makes u feel like your on crack methamphetamines on that amount. Helped pain i admit. Didnt withdrawal as bad as what benzodiazepines and alcohol withdrawal IS. Dont abuse lyrica i wouldnt recommend it. 300MG MAX PPLS. anything more is stupid
Jovi Girl - You my friend are bang on the money with that.
I took pregabalin I was ok for 2 weeks happy as fuck but then my girl friend left me I thought I was ok but every one else thought I was mad the doc gave it me for pain it took a long time to get it out my system feel better though so good luck mate I just walk me dog now best thing ever all the best
This medication is evil. It has causes fights in my relationship with my wife cos it gives u sex problems. This drug prevents one from ejaculating n this is the problem
the benzos with alcohol would have all those effects too right?
Curtis Confuz I hadn’t taken any benzos on that day. And over the course of my pregabalin use was only prescribed 10/20 pills over three months.
Yeah can make u do alot of out of character things..not advised!
Alcohol benzodiazepine heroin in that order of physcial withdrawals this drug is easy to get off. But then again i kicked suboxone heroin benzodiazepines just not alcohol as of the seizures. Working at it. I know my drugs. But i dont recommend drugs to anyone it can literally take over your whole entire life.
My doctor told me pregabulin was not addicting and prescribed me it. Ive taken one dose and im not taking anymore.
I really thought lyrica was going to be the answer to my nerve pain. Started at a VERY low dose, and it helped me get some sleep. Dr got me up to 150mg a day 2 weeks ago. Yesterday I realized I was beginning to lose my mind. Weird, weird frightening side effects. I have tried about a half dozen different meds without any substantial improvement. I'm only 49 years old. I won't make it another 10 years if I can't find something that works for the pain without causing drug-induced insanity.
You still there ?
How long did the withdrawal symptoms last?
I’m up to 300mg, I feel like I’m seasick, I can’t go into shops without holding on to railings etc, aniexty still bad so need to have conversation I think 😖
I'm on Gabapentin but its shit! I want Pregabalin but I don't know what to do.
@@NitrousBreather I'll switch with you, Lol.. everyone reacts differently.. I love Gbptn
@@merncat75 i am now on high dose of Pregabalin but still have one box of Gbptn left
@@NitrousBreather how do you like it compared to gabapentin? I honestly think I like gabapentin better.
@@codyrebelcb gabapentin made me feel a bit sick and but pregabalin makes me feel mellow and good, i take 600mg a day but would like to try a higher does. what does you on?
You look much better
My doc is putting mine up to 225mg from 150mg in a weeks time. I'm currently on 300mg a day.
Vile drug ! Give to me for fibromyalgia but made me go into a coma and nearly killed me , beware of this EVIL DRUG ,IT NEEDS TI BE BANNED IMHO .
I'm on pregabalin for CRPS in my fingers joints and wrist . For 3 months now one tablet every night and now I'm taking now second night to come off
Pregabalin 75gm
I‘m on 300mg and if I miss / skip a dose I get restless / irritated and have trouble falling asleep. The moment I redose these effects subside. Thankfully I do not experience other side effects and it is actually helping my underlying condition but I guess the day I decide to finally get off it probably wont be easy.
Anyone else had aggression problems with this like lashing out uncontrollably ?
Yeah me too
Makes me feel a bit wild but that seems to be calming down as I get used to the medication
Ive never had any withdrawal symptoms, i took over 1000mg of pregab one day and then i would stop for a week or two. I would take from 150 to 600+. The most ive took in one day is probably 1500-1700mg. But i never have any withdrawal symptoms. I dont have an urge to take it when i do stop. But when i go on it its for anxiety, i take 150 on a daily basis before school. I have abused it alot, ive snorted it, over used it. But once ive stopped for a couple weeks because the presciption ran out, i didnt have urges to take it and i had no withdrawal symptoms.
Hello, I am in Ohio and I want to get Lyrica in any way. Do you know how to take it? I do not suffer from anything, I just love this medicine. Thank you ♥️

dam dude idk why but im super sensitive to pregab but im really tolerant to things like Valium and Ativan but the max I can do is 900mg without feeling abit uncomfortable but the high is incredible and thats why its addictive to some very calm nice warm body hug with pretty in your face euphoria atleast for me remember im just genetically sensitive to this stuff stay strong mate hope you can find a way to make your pregab use better
on 100mg for a few weeks then tried 165mg twice a day for 3 days but no help so now I'm weaning off and it's hellish. The 165mg are not made to be broken but I had no choice. I have severe anxiety feel shaky and sweat and have the runs. I will ask the doctor for 25mg and taper from there. Good luck to you and all who have to go through this. Question? will 25mg be easier to stop? I assume it will. Thanks
Umm I'm on tegretol and Pregabs (250) for epilepsy. But then I'm an alcoholic, the mix is nasty. Thanks for your vid
I take 400mg every evening I used to take 200mg but I asked my Dr to up them as I was still in pain, I take them for my hips and have been on them for about 6 years now, along with them I take 20mg of amitryptaline and also 7.5mg of zopiclone or I can't sleep, the only side effects I get from them is drowsiness that's why I take them in the evening, I do also get a really dry mouth. I've tried everything the Dr's gave me , like mertazapine but nothing really helps apart from the pregabalin.
Any increased hunger?
how long until the withdrawl side effects to subside? I’ve been on it for 1 month and quit cold turkey 75 mg
How was the withdrawal? Were you successful?
So the only side effect that was a problem was when you took it with alcohol? Was it okay other than that?
Handsome AF! 😍
Does it help for Social Anxiety
Bro my friend is taking about 10 capsules daily of 300mg since last year along with two or the 3 cough syrup and at night he drink alcohol 😭I'm from Punjab india.i Stop taking since last week.my dose was 300 to 600 mg I can't able to sleep till now
I try to kick methadone with pregabalin. I what I notice is ... the damn pregabalin is quite the same, really! both substances interacts with the same receptors. man, I feel like shit. I have a strange headache ... and I'm heavily unmotivated ... How long can I take pregabalin without getting addicted to it? Can someone tell me this? but con quest, I take my hat off to you for going cold turkey! that's brave! greetings from good old germany!
They don't interact with the same receptors
Please tell me How to get rid of the effects of Lyrica in the body
Pregabalin has been wonderful for me. Courseys for horseys I guess.
@Dark Dream how you doing now pal, good i hope.
@Dark Dream i know your pain as ive gone through this a few times, i think your right staying on a low dose till you feel ready to jump off, keep me updated if you can, i wish you all the best and if you need to talk, just holla, sean
The vertigo is absolutely dreadful too.
What do you mean?
Dizziness
Does Pregabalin increases dopamine?
Im on 300mg twice daily, 70mg of methadone and 5mg of diazapam twice daily.. for opiate dependence, fibromyelgia , PTSD etc etc... my pain is still off the charts! it worked ok at first but its become less effective over time. My question to anyone is NIGHT TERRORS?? weird buzzing feeling bin my head and the sound of water in my ears almost... which leads to hearing noises and feeling presences etc,, its scary. if i go to sleep when its happening I have horrible dreams that mimic me being awake in bed... PLEASE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING??? Its not hypnogogic or hypnopompic and i am awake when it starts. thanks
It’s usually a week after dropping 600mg cold turkey I get bad withdrawals
Its the devils drug. I was on it two months and my withdrawal was indescribable. Something from a horror movie, my parents had to fly in from a different country to help me. Couldnt sleep, couldnt eat, could drink water, vomiting, shaking, feeling like things crawling on me, time slowed to the point i couldnt stand it. I cant stress enough how much i think this drug should be banned. Evil from the devil himself
Guys very right , Pregabalin,Xanax and valium when used with drink can cancel out both of your brains hemispheres literally making you....not you , and you are capable of ANYTHING. I took xanax with booze q good few times and all i have now are flashbacks of doing crazy shit i dont even know weather i did or not that where totally out of my charter and nature ....be very careful stay away from drink on gabba drugs.
I've only been on lyrica/pregabalin for the last 3 weeks and I've been pretty depressed since, but I'm giving it a chance, I need it for my pain. I did a vlog on it, come check it out.
Sooooo absolutely no drinking? Also, I am moving on up slowly ...
"The Prince" Niccolo Machiavelli celebrates CHIRON, the ASCLEPIAN SPIRIT of Psychiatry.
These medications cause severe breathing problems and impairs lung function. I'm currently on gabapentin which is very similar to lyrica. I been currently on it for the last 4 months. I was prescribed gabapentin 3× a day 1800mg in the hospital in inpatient treatment related to suicidal thoughts and depression. In the last 4 years I been on and off of gabapentin at one point 2400mg a day. I'm starting a slow taper with the permission from my doctor. I'm starting 900mg a day instead of 1200. I hope to come off of it completely in 2 weeks time. I've had severe insomnia and haven't slept or very little at all when I started the gabapentin. My breathing problems have gotten progressively worse since I started gabapentin, I never used to have any breathing problems in my life until I started this drug and my mood swings have gotten so severe. I wish I knew that then that that's what was causing it. I look at every possible thing it can be. My mood has gotten worse. It feels like someone or something is choking you to death it's a really scary feeling. I cant breathe normally anymore. This is becoming a Huge Problem for me and big pharma, the fda and the companies that manufacture and make these drugs really need to do something about these 2 drugs lyrica and gabapentin. I started to use gabapentin to get off opioids, heroine, oxcycodone. Your better off going cold turkey with medical supervision. I can honestly say it's more addictive than anything I've ever had or was put on
More addictive than opioids in my opinion. Big pharma and the government doesn't want to deal with controlled substances anymore and the prescribing of controlled substances. The problem is big pharma is just creating another problem just like what happend to purdue pharma for negleciance and the manipulation and lies about the use of oxycontin. Just like what happens to Purdue pharma with oxycontin, the 750 lawsuits plus and counting and the fact that the drug is still on the market. It will happend to the makers of gabapentin too if they dont do something about this now, unbelievable.
Is that a small orb flying around you?
Alanna McDonald no
I noticed that too x
The mistake was the doc increasing your dose way too quickly IMHO - if he/she had increased by 25mg every other week then things might have turned out very differently. For me it was fantastic for back pain, highly recommend it!
