So i have GAD and moderate agoraphobia, I was wondering if a 75mg cap of this stuff will work to calm me down? I keep pacing around the house and feel extremely on edge for some reason
Hi everyone.
I take 50mg Zoloft (sertraline) daily and 75mg Lyrica (pregabalin) twice a day, morning and evening.
Tonight I accidentally took 150mg of Lyrica instead of my usual 75mg evening dose.
Now I’m anxious about serotonin syndrome or other dangerous interactions.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks
I took Escitalopram 20mg for a long time. Despite of that, I still had many depressive/intrusive thoughts.
Now, I am on Pregabalin 300mg and all my depressive/intrusive thoughts are gone. It's as if my mind is blank. i don't know if this is emotional blunting, but it feels actually good! It's as if this inner "narrating voice" some people is gone, but it feels actually normal, similarly to how people describe never having an inner voice to begin with.
Anyone having a similar experience on Pregabalin?
Looking for a Phenibut alternative bc they don't sell quality product anymore
I'm having trouble coming off pregabalin (I already came down from 150mg to 50mg,in 25mg drops every month, but I'm finding this last 50mg really difficult for some reason), and asked the GP if there were a more gradual way of reducing it, he claimed there are only the 25mg tablets, but I can see the NHS website gives advice about how to take liquid pregabalin, so I feel like he's just fobbing me off...
My pain specialist just prescribed 25mg once per day for pain and has given me no titration schedule or anything. does that mean I need to go through my GP or will they refuse to manage it since the pain specialist is the one that prescribed it
I'm 115kg. 18M. What should I expect?
I am 16F and i am.169cm tall and i weigh around 143lbs. I took 450mg of pregabalin around 7 hours ago and I'm still feeling the symptoms. It was my first time taking it. My head is spinning whenever I move and I'm really nauseous. It gets worse when i move. I keep seeing some scenes behind my eyes. I don't know what to do. Will it pass by itself? Can I take stomach drops? I'm having some problems writing this.
Can Pregabalin cause anxiety, irritability or more sensitivity to caffeine?
I am trying 25 mg at night for sleep and anxiety. It works a bit but it seems to give ne some strange side effects.
How do I even deal with this? I'm on 600mg daily for intractable nerve pain. I'm also on prescribed opiates and they are synergistic. I've been on pregabalin for 7-8 years and can't afford an ER appointment. How can I even begin to handle this? If I go into really bad detox my legs and am mobility will get worse. Please advise, I need help and have never ever been bust like this so early in the month. Thanks.
Hey i ve been taking pregabalin for a week now and literally havent felt any side effects. Not even munchies ( i tought munchies was an universial side effect ) or brain fog or memory issues
The only things i experienced:
- i became way less scared of the social situations i used to be scared of ( like i had literally 0 friends 1 week ago , now i ve made like 6 and one of them has a c43 amg and i am part of 2 groups).
- it made me slower , physically slower
- it made me bump into things more because i wasnt feeling less pain then usual
- it made me feel slightly drugged
Am i missing them out? Or am i literally experiencing only benefits?
I’m a 24 year old man who recently got a. L5-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion in November of last year to correct a few issues.
When I was 10 I did a slide tackle playing soccer and where I landed on the ground there was a hump in the field. When I landed it cracked the vertebrate right above my tailbone, and it kicked it forward out of place.
When this happened I immediately got incredible Sciatic nerve pain down the left side of my body going from that vertebrate to all the way down to my foot. Terrible burning stinging searing nerve pain.
I proceeded to have 2-3 years of sleepless nights and physical therapy. The muscles in my back at that time were very unhappy and I could barely handle the massages to from my physical therapist.
Fast forward to a few years ago, as a 21-22 year old man I turned to alcohol and 7o to deal with my pain because my vertebrae had slid 10mm forward and because it was out of place the disc below it was basically non existent. Tons of nerve pain and pain from a crushed disc.
I quit using 7o a little while after talking to a surgeon at 23. After my first meeting with him he gave me the options and told me to take some time and think about it. I called them 10 minutes after I left as I was driving home and said let’s do this.
The surgery was brutal, a week in the hospital and 6 weeks of dilaudid every 3-4 hours. I really should’ve gotten the surgery 5 years earlier.
Now in may of 2026 I am doing so so much better thanks to lyrica. I quit drinking after surgery to help with healing, and thankfully my back feels better then it ever has (pre injury) but honestly it’s hard to remover what it’s like not to hurt until recently.
Despite not having any more fucking terrible disc being crushed feeling all the time my Sciatic nerve on the left side still hurts a lot from being completely crushed for years.
After getting tired of waking up every 3-4 hours to take dilaudid because I was being woken up by pain I asked the doctors to try lyrica.
It almost completely gets rid of the nerve pain, and kills anxiety. It’s almost too good to be true.
It took a little while to get used to the brain fog that comes with it but now I can live my life almost pain free as long as I keep some in my blood.
I’m only with taking this for the rest of my life as long as it continue to work, and I don’t see why it would stop being effective.
But anyways, thank you lyrica/Pregabalin for giving me my life back.
Is it possible to take pregabalin sublingual? Should i take the powder out of the capsule or just let it dissolve slowly? Im trying to experiment and see if this is a good ROA for pregab but im not finding anything about it online so im not really sure
I started Pregabalin 2 days ago. I'm taking 50 mg in the morning and 50 in the evening. I feel sleepy and have vertigo and it doesn't make me feel I want to go outside. Does it get better with time? I'm also on 200mg Sertraline. Can anyone relate?
What dosages are people finding effective for the above ?
Hello. I started this medication for pain and nerve hypersensitivity disorder. Doctor told me to start with 25 mg before bed. Take for 7 days then take one before bed and one during the day. Today starts two a day. I noticed yesterday and when I woke up this morning my pain seems worse. Is this the norm till I find what works or is it not helping me? I know everyone is different but I know this is hard to get off of also. Any advice is appreciated. I will continue to take as prescribed until I can reach my doctor on Monday. Thanks
I take 200mg at nighttime and forgot to pick up my prescription today. And the pharmacy is now closed.
I have one 100mg capsule. The only other ones I have are 75 mg. capsules. Would you only take 175 mg total tonight, or should I take 250 mg? I've had trouble increasing pregabalin in the past.
Ooof, I am so mad at myself.
Hey guys, this is my first time taking pregabalin. I was planning on trying it for a month to see the side effects because I have neuropathy and gabapentin isn't enough of a painkiller for me. The main side effect I'm worried about is inorgasmia, I was wondering if this side effect would show up early while I'm taking it or will it take months to show up?
I was prescribed 450 mg
I know not everyone gets anorgasmia but I was worried about it. I won't be able to see the long-term effects right now because I'm going to have to go back on an antidepressant that causes inorgasmia for me (I'm going to go back on this after I'm done trying pregabalin on its own for a month)
So I’ve been on only 75 mg of pregablin a day for two weeks. Was prescribed because of nerve damage in the neck. I think its a pinched nerve tbh but I’ve might have misunderstood (I live in Japan and sometimes I misunderstand the language).
Anyways, decided to go from 75 to half of that.
So I take half a pill before bed and my god man.
What is this poison? Super nauseous, extreme fatigue and so irritable.
I thought because of my small dose I would be fine but it’s been a struggle.
Some of the nerve pain is back but it’s doable.
I didn’t know it could get so intense after only two weeks. I don’t even want to imagine if I keep doing this drug for a long time. It’s really scary.
I e had addictions in the past but this… WILD!
Anyone that tapered pregablin with the same experience? Hod long did you feel ”sick”? Because now I can’t really do anything. I’m absolutely exhausted.
Thank you and have a good day
I saw that bioavailavility is 99% when taken rectal. I was just wondering how tbis works. Do you put a capsule up your butt?
