lyrica euphoria

May I ask if Lyrica can cause weight LOSS through making one 'feel' so good they can conquer all and set out to do just that. Over time, losing weight through going like a bee all day long. Feeling of elation I guess I would call it. Can Lyrica cause enlarged spleen and does enlarged spleen bulge when eating. I was put on Lyrica for Neuropathies, coincidentally, when all my gastric issues began.

Hello! My Dr prescribed me Lyrica and I have been readin about this drug, but I can't seem to find anything telling me what is in it. Does anyone know the ingredients? I was told it was a non-narcotic drug but then the leaflet says that it can be addictive and do not stop immediately..blah,blah, blah...does anyone know what is in this stuff?

My pain doc says neurontin is a much safer drug than lyrica and wants me to stick to the neurontin.....lyrica does have a euphoria associted with it with use for some....especially at first....

I'm about to try to stop taking Lyrica. I've been taking a VERY high dosage the past couple of weeks or so (1600mg a day at the minimum) and just a little lower dosage before that. I know that there will be withdrawal symptoms and was wondering if there was anything that my doctor could give me that will help me through it. I've an addictive personality. Been addicted to everything I've taken that gives me any small measure of euphoria or lesser anxiety...

a friend abuses lyrica..takes 6-8 pills a day for euphoria..when she runs out she has no physical wd at all...

I am diabetic and have been prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain. I am hearing contradictory opinions about the safety of Lyrica in a recovering addict. I would rather live with the pain than relapse. Has anyone had any experience with this?

t want to give advice - just information. I also have Fibromyalgia and am taking Lyrica. Lyrica was developed for diabetic neurapathy, then authorized for treating FMS. I have a lot of other issues that cause pain (ddd, spinal stenosis, severe arthritis) and I've taken a lot of pain meds and gone through withdrawl for things like Hydrocodone, Percocet, and even Methadone. Second only to Methadone, Lyrica was the worst to withdraw from!

I am taking Lyrica and wondering about the side effects and if I should be going back to the doctor or just need to tough it out on longer to gain the benefits. I'm on 75mg at night. I am supposed to get to 75mg in the morning also, however I took 25mg in the morning and slept until 4pm in the afternoon! So I am not taking the morning dose. The side effects the last 2 days have almost become intolerable.

Nodding is not a form of euphoria for me...i can do that all by myself!

When I first started Lyrica I immediately experienced euphoria. It was great, I felt wonderful, almost like being high! I again experience it whenever the dosage is increased. This euphoric feeling went away in a short period of time which was disappointing. However, I have found that it still continues to help in a more normal way. My energy level is better than before, I have less pain and my mood is also better.

I went to my Dr. and he told me to taper off 2-7.5 hydro's & replace them with 2 -- Lyrica 75mg. I'm still on 3--.5mg xanax as well as prozac /heart pills and prevacid .I never use more than prescribed .Should I just deal with life without meds .I'm having trouble going to NA & AA because I still feel like I'm useing. I have been clean of my addiction drug for 6 months . Am I fooling myself thinking I won't abuse these new " "Prescribed "meds.

I was just put on Lyrica, the doc thinks I might have Fibro...I have all the symptoms that go along with it...I have noticed though over the last week since I've been taking it that my anxiety has increased and it feels like my heart is beating faster....I have always been on Xanax for anxiety ( last 4 yrs. ) but I haven't had to use it as much until lately...or could this just be a symptom of Fibro since it's really flared up due to the cold weather?

i took neuronton for fibro and was good for restless leg syd my dose went up to 3 300 milligram a day i went into bipolar swings from happy to sad within hours 2 pills no side effects 3 total mental illness same thing with lyrica its cousin.

t take it long b/c I noticed nothing. I just started taking Lyrica 75mg 3x a day started about almost 2 weeks ago. I am confused b/c I know that Lyrica can cause some really big side effects and I can't tell if I am having w/d from detoxing off of fentanyl or is it Lyrica. I know it causes major weight gain and I don't need that. I know a girl who has been on it for a year and has my same med. problems.

Hello, I am new to this community, I suppose I should tell you a littlebit about myself first.. Well, I am a CP patient who was in a MVA accident a couple of years ago, and have been taking opiates for my pain. I am a little shy to ask this because I don't want to be judged as being an addict or something, but I always thought that you could tell that a narcotic was working based on that warm fuzzy feeling you get..

i feel amazing i am not like crazy happy but i am content and i am kind of anxious about how bad i will feel once the euphoria is gone

5 per day and eventually got to an average of 6 to 8 per day. I started on Lyrica about 1 month ago and I think I really like it (although I can't be completely sure since I take so many pills). I am really tired of being hooked on the pills and taking more than I am supposed to and then worrying about getting more. I plan on quitting cold turkey next Thursday. This forum has helped me so much to prepare myself for what's to come.

This is based on studies done around the maximum dosages which showed that some people had feelings of being high or euphoria from the drug. The main uses of Lyrica are to treat the pain from nerve damage and fibromyalgia as well as to prevent seizures. However, it can also help to treat anxiety, an unanticipated side effect, and people can become addicted to it.

(this is soooo frustrating!!!) Anyway, he prescribed Lyrica for me to take every day. Yesterday was my first day on this new drug, and as far as the neuopathic pain, it really seemed to help. (not so much with the muscle and joint pain, but with the tingling, burning, shooting pains and numbness, it did.) However.......I have experienced urinary incontinence for some time now. It started as stress incont. but then it was stress and urge incont.

but taken short term for wds at the prescribed dose...it should be fine..some get euphoria from lyrica..i never did just a sluggish feeling so i told my doctor i did not want it anymore...i quit hydros with a friend and now lyrica is her drug of choice/she abuses it tho...she loves it...i hated it..

I do have a question. I'm day 5 clean. Yesterday afternoon, i had this sudden wave of euphoria, like when the pills would start to kick in. ( i didnt take any! ) Is this normal??

But I checked with another study recipient and we both agree that there is a mild sense of well being and euphoria that sets in about an hour after taking PSI 7977 and lasts for varying lengths of time and then begins to change to fatigue. It is like getting gas or a valium before a dental procedure. Has anyone else experienced such sensations on any of the hepatitis medications; experimental or not?

My question is about using a mood stabilizer (Lamictal) with my Opana and hydromorphone, fentanyl and before, oxycontin. I do not get any euphoria from opiate or opiod medications or get much mental effects..and I'm wondering if my mood stabilizer is the reason for this...like it maintains me at an a level mood and this prevents my mood from being elevated similar to how it prevents me from having manic symptoms. Just a fyi, I'm not looking for the euphoria and hyperness etc....

Most us here took pain meds for legitimate pain but that pain became secondary to the euphoria we all tried to achieve. Maybe you need to look at reevaluting your pain. Some of us also had decreased pain once we were off the meds. If you dont do something about this now it will only get worse. The wd;s are minor compared to what is really going on.

I wake up typically 2 to 4 times per night, usually have to use the bathroom when I do, then go back to bed, usually able to return to sleep, but again, I do NOT typically enter REM sleep (dream). Is Lyrica safe to take for the other conditions I have, and if so, what are the side effects and dangers? I do also have an allergy to pennicillin and a few grasses, trees, foods, etc. Any suggestions as to what I can try next for sleep?
