Gabapentin is one of the best drugs I’ve used. But I hate Pregabalin.

[u/GetAJobAndAHaircut]

Does anyone feel like Gabapentin is much better than Pregabalin, or is this not common? Everyone pretty much says Pregabalin is superior to Gabapentin.

I love GABAs, my favorite GABA drugs in order are: GHB, Alcohol, and Gabapentin.

I have used many different GABA drugs and RC GABAs and very obscure ones like Pagoclone, and Diclazepam.

Pregabalin was the one GABA I never got the chance of trying for years. And i always hear people saying it is the best Gabapentinoid and also the best GABA related drug. Recently I got hold of some. I was excited to finally see what the Lyrica hype was about.

I was very disappointed in the effects I got. I tried many dosages ranging from 100mg up to 1 gram. It felt like weird Alcohol effects with a dirty bit Phenibut feeling. No matter what the dosage is, this unfun feeling is consistent.

I love pregab its kind of manic but extremely euphoric for me. Its comparable to mdma about 70-60% so i love it. However I always lock my credit cards because again that manic feeling is real and you have to learn to control it. Its very speedy but thats not for everyone favorite thing ever is sleeping on the come down

[u/Reasonable_Act_526 → u/ttvtempest17]

I spend sooo much money on prega

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/Reasonable_Act_526]

Darkweb has 20,000 mg for 70 smackerz. I swear to god. I couldn't believe it either. But I did it and 5 days later it was in my hands. It's definitely pregabalin.

[u/Apprehensive_Bad5920 → u/Front-Tradition6934]

WHAT?? thats hella good.

[u/Vegetable-Pie-8120 → u/Front-Tradition6934]

Whaaaaaas? I bought some online it cost me like $200 and it was right when white house shut down so I never got it 😭😭😭. I definitely need to look up what sites are running now lmao

[u/Plane-Atmosphere-561 → u/ttvtempest17]

Best drug in the world, been taking it for 3 years.

[u/Old-Barnacle-7752 → u/Plane-Atmosphere-561]

i've been on it for 6 months and feel like the magic is already gone, what's your tolerance like at 3 years?

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/Old-Barnacle-7752]

U can only take it every 2 or 3 days. It's hard not to though

[u/phennygodx → u/Old-Barnacle-7752]

Ten year user here. 600mg every single night to sleep, and then 1800-3600mg twice a week (whenever I schedule all my meetings, or, if no meetings, weekend use for partying / socializing).

The magic has decreased by, I’d say 1%… but that’s likely placebo and just me being used to how it feels. It kicks my ass and feels absolutely fucking amazing.

[u/Richard-Squeezer → u/Old-Barnacle-7752]

Do you take breaks?

[u/Kloonike → u/Plane-Atmosphere-561]

What dosage?

[u/Richard-Squeezer → u/ttvtempest17]

I did a lot and I mean alot of mdma in my twenties and don't find it anything like mdma. I feel like it's a much longer and better version of diazepam with abit of disassociation

[u/radmusicofficial → u/ttvtempest17]

Twice a year i do a week of taking pregabalin with kratom leaves. This combination reminds me of taking ecstasy but also if i has more energy and more relaxed. like if you could mix mdmda speed and an opiate together. However it is risky cause when i took high dose of both, it really potentiated the CNS depression however not to the extent of emergency. I take around 20-25gpd of kratom in 2-3g doses potentiated with lemon juice, then pregabalin 300mgs redosed every now and then. fuck, the best feeling i ve ever experienced

[u/Kloonike → u/ttvtempest17]

How much do you take?

[u/RhetoricalCocktail → u/ttvtempest17]

That "feels like mdma" must be genetic or something. Some people get it with just a medium dose and others can't get it no matter how much they take

[u/SilentMellow → u/ttvtempest17]

This is insane. I feel nothing different mentally at least and I take lyrica 3x 75mg. It helps with appetite (which I’m underweight so that’s good) but other than that… nothing. Damn

[u/casserole_jones]

Yep pregab makes me feel like I’m drunk on 2 bottles of red wine in an unfun, dizzy kinda way. I feel like I need to lay down and just sleep it off. Gabapentin is more uplifting and euphoric for me, and a small dose goes much further than pregab.

I call it my gabatwerkin’

[u/New_Ebb5963 → u/casserole_jones]

Yeah and when you lay down and close your eyes to sleep you get the spins like you're drunk, you hit it on the head with how it makes you feel, makes you dizzy, tired, feel like jello/sludge but in an unfun kind of way.

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/casserole_jones]

That's fucking hilarious, not gonna lie. I'm a middle aged white dude and I'm gonna start saying this. This drug def turns me into someone not a Lotta ppl can handle lol.

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/Front-Tradition6934]

It's a lifestyle choice

[u/ThrowDeepALWAYS]

I’m like you. I prefer the feeling I get from gabapentin vs lyrica.

[u/tundrabee119]

I agree. Lyrica makes me feel too speedy And I hate that feeling

[u/sed_life19 → u/tundrabee119]

I really like going on running🏃‍♀️ when on prega cuz of this exact feeling 🫠

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/sed_life19]

Endless energy. I work in the Texas Sun and it makes it to where that doesn't bother me at all. I could work 110 all day with this stuff

[u/Front-Tradition6934]

I buy pregabalin in bulk on the day dark web. I've got a big Ole baggy in my pocket right not lol. Glad you reminded me. I might have thrown it in the washer otherwise.

[u/Front-Tradition6934 → u/Front-Tradition6934]

You can get 20,000 mg for 70 ball hairs. No bs.

[u/HillaryMonster88 → u/Front-Tradition6934]

How? Where? Can you dm me?

[u/russkiybetzalel → u/Front-Tradition6934]

fed

[u/holymilked]

lyrica made me ocd as hell and i would pick my face to pieces or go to costco and buy so much dumb shit. gabapentin has me dancing in my room just grateful for everything

[u/Old-Barnacle-7752]

i break 800s in half, take every 30-40min, with caffeine/fatty food but can longer feel the magic. Is my tolerance just screwed?

[u/EmphasisImmediate240]

That’s very odd fr. I like both fine but weirdly when I’m on gabapentin 1200 mgs for example then go to 200 mgs of lyrica I do actually feel it less than gabapentin. That’s not the weird part though, if I just straight up switch to lyrica for a few weeks then go back to 1200 mgs gabapentin I get very slight withdrawal symptoms physically but still feel mostly fine mentally. It’ll last close to a week then go away. I myself like phenibut better than all other gabapentinoids. Honestly better than all gabaergics. I just can’t take it anymore because i ruined it for myself basically. I have never done GHB though. If I tried it it’d possibly be my new favorite.

[u/Professional_sickly → u/EmphasisImmediate240]

How exactly did you ruin Phenibut for yourself?

[u/vngmxr_or_bebra]

yo same

[u/Batushkapanihida]

I get a script of gabapentin every month 90 300 mg and I love it

[u/Apprehensive_Bad5920]

Fair. 😹 Gabapentin is nice to just chill. pregabalin though... if I had a particularly horrible week.

[u/THE-NO-1-XCR]

Could be the reason you hate preg is because gabap tolerance

[u/lowkey_add1ct]

I feel the complete opposite. Do you take gabapentin really often? I’ve heard ppl don’t like to mix the two.

[u/sed_life19 → u/lowkey_add1ct]

I mix those 2, honestly feels the same to me 900mg Gabapentin + 300mg prega

[u/EggoWaffle1032]

Where did you get it? In my 8 years of taking it i noticed there was differences between brands
