Positive experiences
“My silver bullet for sleep is GHB (2.5ml) + a calcium channel blocker...pregabalin (50-75mg)”
“Dosing 300mg Lyrica before bed, is the best sleep experience I have had in my life.”
“the occasional recreational use of about 1g - 1.5g of pregabalin every 2 weeks - gives me a great day of not feeling depressed”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I’ve since trialled Pregabalin and currently been on Lamotrigine for 7 weeks and zero improvement.”
“Pregabaline helps but I think my dose is too low I take between 200-300 and I’m waiting for my appointment and see if it will get increased.”
“I am prescribed pregablin, one 25mg tablet at night. But I can't focus while on that, so can only take it at night.”
“I've tried seizure meds, which help to an extent, but they have awful side effects... I'd have to live with the edema from the Lyrica. I never went back and stopped taking the Lyrica.”
“Best results I got with pregabalin, phenibut and sometimes some benzos...Pregabalin makes you feel a little stupid (hard to recall words, you feel like you're slurring your speech) at a dose where it's actually working for motivation and anxiolytic effects (~100-150mg in my case)”
“PRN: Pregabalin 50mg 3x/day (can make me sad/tired/loopy, worsening EF and thus worsening anxiety).”
