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 am having so much fun @_@

(wanted to clarify aswell: i talk about agmatine which isn’t approved as a supplement, based on studies it doesn’t seem to be harmful at doses studied but always do your own research. Also i don’t think it’s been studied long term so just keep that in mind)

This is a weird ass discovery I made and i actually thought this only applied to gabapentin but it works really well for Lyrica suprisingly. For some context, I am on 350mg of pregabalin daily for anxiety, used to be on 550mg

I’ve tested this method with and without agmatine in the mix and i find agmatine actually really adds to this effect.

It kicks in about 2x faster and arguably harder.. You make sure you have a relatively empty stomach then take your 500-1000mg agmatine 15-30 mins before, then you take your pregabalin dose with a carbonated drink. I’ve tested sugary drinks and non-sugary drinks and I find it doesn’t really matter but generally if it’s a bit acidic I find that helps a bit? (can’t really find any evidence to support pH affects it)

Pregabalin is absorbed through LAT1 (an amino acid transporter) in your upper intestine, this means it can’t dissolve in your stomach and the faster it can leave your stomach the better. Now obviously that means a empty stomach is better, but to do even more would be drinking a carbonated drink on top of a empty stomach, the dissolved carbon dioxide creates pressure within your stomach (which creates a physiological response to push stomach contents into your intestines faster) and it also dilates blood vessels in your intestines which lets pregabalin dissolve faster (this dilation is also way more pronounced with agmatine, a releaser of endogenous nitrogen monoxide)

I also believe the carbonation + increased pH may probably affect how fast the capsule dissolves too (not fully sure on this)

Yeah just wanted to share my discovery, helps a lot when my anxiety is getting bad and need the dose to hit me quickly. 😁

I take 600 mg of pregabalin every day, if i were to go 2-3 days without pregabalin would it mess with my brain? Like would it cause any damage? I know taking oregabalin is not good for the brain anyway, but i would like to know if its safe to take those short tolerance breaks, and is it not better to go a couple days on let’s say- 150 mgs?
edit: I’ve been taking the 600 for about half a year now

Wanna mix them, don’t know how to make it right. Pls help. I’m not a stonner, just occasional

Does anyone else calls their pregabs Gabagool? Usual interaction with my friends is when they bring pregabs to a hangout and you tell them “Gabagool! Ova’ here! What’d ya hear what’d ya say!”

We can’t be the only ones?

As the title says. I feel pretty energetic and light headed right now. I'm feeling it. But I'm not sure what to do with my energy. I've already done a lot of cleaning.

I’m high

Ode to Pregabalin

You soften the noise, turn sharp edges smooth, take the fear away without erasing me.

No benzo fog, no opiate grave, just this gentle cushion I can finally breathe on.

Pregabalin, not a high, but a quiet peace — a small “it’s fine” in a world that screams.

So me and a friend took 600mg each yesterday for a party. Split between 2 pills at 300mg. We first took 300 and waited 1,5hours and took another 300. It was good overall, we paired it with a couple of drinks (beers/ smirnoff ice) about 3 each and felt good.

Our plan is to take another 600 today all at once and go to another party.
And tomorrow take 900mg each for another party
Any advice/pointers?

Pulled an all nighter. Took 100mg Vyvanse yesterday. Today I took 50mg at 12am, and 100mg at 6. 7:22 rn. The Vyvanse dose is obviously pretty high but I'm prescribed 50mg daily for ADHD and I tolerate anything under 200mg pretty well

I don't think I got high Lyrica tolerance atm. Bought 2 150mg 28 capsule bottles last Thursday, did 450mg last thursday night, 750mg last friday, 1500mg saturday, 900mg sunday, and 600mg monday. So it's been 6 days since I last dosed Lyrica

A while back ago I was asked to sign my name while I was on pregabalin and... My handwriting was terrible.

I couldn't write my damn name properly and I was definitely acting sus af. ✍️🏼👁️✍️🏼👁️✍️🏼👁️✍️🏼

Do y'all's motor skills become poor on pregabalin too?

Getting retarded

I've started taking Lyrica for pain i had for a hernia but kept it for anxiety 'cos it made it stop. Going to a party and would like to take half a pill.

Should I stop my 150g + 150g daily Lyrica (300g total daily) or just keep doing it regularly and take a very small dose of MDMA?

When I say half a pill I really mean half I'm very methodical in this.

I get an aversion to food when i’m on it. Food also tastes less good and just thinking about food makes me want to throw up. I can only handle drinks.

It’s so weird since gabapentin makes me super hungry.

Anyone else got this effect?

I have a slight tolerance and have taken like 750mg with no bad sides, I also took 7mg zopiclone and 1mg Kpin before, will I be ok?

I take 675 mg every day. Am i fine to do 750 mg?

I take 150mg pregab occasionally for anxiety reasons, but I only take it maybe twice a month because I don’t much about it. Can anyone be honest with me and tell me how often I can take 150mg pregab and get away with it with no problems?

Three of my favorite drugs are Pregabalin, Gabapentin and Baclofen. They make me feel like flying.
Except. I absolutely can’t orgasm.

Anyone else?

Currently tapering from a 300-600mg pregabalin a day habit. I feel like shit.

Can withdrawal cause long lasting trauma in someone?

Dosed after 10days Happy ballin

I plan to dose weekly likely on sundays or on social occasions. I only have problem with nicotine and i have quit various substances over the years. I have experience with pregab before but now i have a whole box, and i'm scared that i'm going to fall down the slippery slope.

Any good strats to prevent addiction? or does it boil down to self-control and will?

Yesterday I took 600mg and am planning to take Pregabalin again on the 2nd day which is today. If I take 300mg or 450mg, will I still feel the effects?

I have been taking Pregabalin orally for some time now and was wondering about how sublingual administration varies from the typical oral route. How is the experience compared to oral administration in terms of length and intensity? Is this anyone’s preferred method of Pregabalin administration?

Thank you

I know you don’t have to stagger pregabalin but is it a waste to do it? I’m trying a stagger today because I was curious but will it make me less high?
