lyrica to get high

I do have an accupuncturist that seems to be helping. I do want to get off the lyrica but everytime that I try I am in too much pain. I am on the max dose of that right now, and am on 120 mg of cymbalta. My memory is not what it used to be and I am gaining to much weight (not that I am that vain as to be skinny and in alot of pain, then as to be plump and pain free), but I just feel like there are alot of side effects that I do not like.

My PM doc said this drug is useless, and you have to take very high doses to get any effect. LYRICA can be costly, but my PM doc gave me a benefit card and you call it in, enter the number on the card and your co-pay os only $25.00 for an entire year. Not bad considering this drug is well over $200 for a months supply at most pharms. Good luck!!

I've never had to show ID to get my lyrica. Was that your first time getting a prescription there? If you are really concerned you should speak to the dr. that put you on the medication. Lyrica has a website, Lyrica.com. I hope the website can answer your questions and make you feel at ease.

I dont know how to write to just you doc but i am new on here and desperate to find an expert opinion to get off sub

m leaving on Friday for a week in the Carribean so am going to wait until I get back to start so I can handle any side effects and to allow me to enjoy some alcohol before I start. What has been the experience of others? How soon did you see improvement?

i have missed some doses and i wasnt sick or anything like u get when u r addicted to anything .......i think it non addicitve my luck im wrong lol.....one think thoug at first it was hard on my stomach..just made me feel nauseated....but its ok now...hope this helps....

SO HE GAVE ME 75MG OF LYRICA WELL, I FOUND OUT IT HELPS BUT THE DOSE IS TO HIGH DUE TO OTHER MEDS I AM ON.SO WE HAVE TO REDUCE.I WENT BACK TO SEE HIM.AND HE SAID IF WE CANT FIND OUT SOMETHING TO HELP I REALLY THINK A MRI IS THE BEST THING I THINK HE SAID.I WAS OK .WELL, I TAKE FLEXRIL 10MG AND LYRICA I AM DOING 50MG NOW JUST TO SEE BUT I HAVE NOTICED LYRICA IS MESSING WITH MY PANIC ATTACKS.I DONT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this? Could it be from the Lyrica? Have I been on the Lyrica long enough to feel a change in my pain....even if it is just a little? My pain: Both legs and my right arm feel like there is a vise grip on them squeezing tighter and tighter. I have had this for 5 years. My right arm pain changed to extreme burning in the arm and numb fingers in the middle of April. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

m on lyrica 607 4ep pd Or amorphous 4G pd Dhc 20th pd Thyroxine 10 g pd I have asked my doctor to put me on top a max and he said I have to go back to pain clinic ,do they have the right to prescribe them for me ?

t take any at all during the day. Due to the addiction to the oxycontin, we have both spoken to the doc about Lyrica and he has told us that if the maximum dosage is exceeded then it can give a "high" but only in the higher dosage, it certianly couldn't do that at a low dosage apparently. How much have you been put onto? Hope that helps a bit.

my friend had back surgery and was prescribed to percocet for his back pain. Then he told me they gave him one day lyrica. He hated it. But still keep in mind he and I also were looking for that "buzz". Or just google it and it will tell you all about it.

BUT --- I must keep telling folks --- I react differently to medications than others. I am super sensitive to some - and not sensitive at all to others. For example: Ritalin makes me fall asleep and makes me very hungry. Coffee makes me nervous and zone out... Valium makes me very grumpy and Lorazepams wake me up. Vicodin doesn't do much to me.

It helps but I havent been on it long enough to be on a high enough dose yet to know if it is going to help as much as the lyrica did. Is there anything else out there that anyone else knows of that I can take or that they have taken that can help for nerve pain...Please help.....

and also similar to neurontin/tis the new neurontin so to speak/but with more side effects and more of a potential for abuse than neurontin// more of a stupor/euphoria associated with lyrica so it is abused but is not addictive physically///but the mental aspect of addiction is the tough part..it is not recommended for an addict to use lyrica if they feel the urge to abuse it....listen to ur body..

One thing I forgot to mention about Lyrica as far as effectiveness is that I kept feeling that I needed to increase the dose after just a little while. It was as though my body would adjust quickly and would become immune to the strength and the pain would return. This would happen quite often. I remember not liking that and being fearful that I would top out at the highest dose too fast because the amount I needed to keep up with the pain would keep increasing.

I hope this helps you, people like you is the reason I shared my experience with Lyrica on this site. I want everyone to get the relief that I am getting now. Hey it is worth a shot if nothing else has worked for you. Hang in there girl. Stay in touch. Where do you live?

I've also taken this before and am now off of it. While it did help, it was quite expensive (even with insurance) and I didn't like the way it played with my cognition...making me experience more brain fog and having trouble comprehending some things. I'm glad it worked for you and you got some relief from pain. A good nights sleep is so important for us and I assume you know that it can work because of your experience. It will tend to make one feel groggy.

I understand you wanting to get off of them for the safety of your baby...but I believe you need to do it the correct way, and under medical supervision to ensure your safety as well as the health and safety of your little one. I am very proud of you for reaching out to your doctors about this...but I am EXTREMELY upset about how both of them treated you and your situation. An OB-gyN should NOT have dismissed this issue...

m now experimenting with Lyrica; coming off the Neurontin slowly and going up on the Lyrica. GP prescripted up to a max. of 150mg per day of Lyrica. Right now I'm at 100mg Lyrica, 1800mg Neurontin, and 50mg Elavil. All list drowsiness as a side effect, and this combo is not affecting me negatively (except a tad of urinary hesitancy which is improving, and occasional ravenous appetite). I take all these meds for neuropathic pain, and none of it seems to be doing much for me.

It is very dangerous to suddenly stop taking Lyrica. You need to phase down slowly over 60 to 90 days. If you come off of it that way there are no withdrawel symtoms. Best of luck.

So the Dr switched me to the lyrica..The two are basically the same family of med but for some reason there seems to be a pattern where its one or the other that different individuals can tolerate..In my case, the gabapentin didn't agree with me but the lyrica was ok. With some people its the opposite..

I have read many withdrawal stories from many of you from every type of medication and my pray you all get better.I have come to the conclusion I too want to rid myself of these medications.I have been on Wellbutrin 150mg 2 times a day , Suboxone since 2007 and Lyrica for about 2 years.This past Christmas made me realize that this is not a life but a prison.I ran out of both for 3 1/2 days and thought if anyway possible I would just die please the withdrawals wereso bad.

Told her that I wanted to get off of Lyrica all together. Feeling very depressed, anxious, and continue to feel sad and crying spells. Started taking generic Neurontin per this doctor at 100mg a day. Am still sad and crying. Went to see my psychiatrist who told me to increase the Neurontin to 300mg a day and advise doctor who prescribed it to me. This was 4/19/13. Still am feeling very sad, depressed, and anxious. It is now 4/22/13. Am I going through withdrawal?

I have gotten down to 25 mg a day and the symptoms are too high so I have up dosed back to 37.5 mg total. This has happened twice now. How long can I stay at 37.5 mg? I don't want to go higher but I don't feel I'm mentally strong enough to come off right now. I'm frightened and don't know what kind of doctor to seek help with. My DO admitted yesterday that this is totally out of her medical field.

So I take it before bedtime, and I work out as much as possible, this also helps with depression I might get due to having a chronic pain disease. Hope this helps, if you go to the Lyrica website, you can read all about others who have taken it, positive and negative results.

Making sure to take the pain meds as prescribed is very important to me to. If I miss a day of my lyrica it takes another 3 days of taking it to get the relief where it is bearable. I don't know that it ever really goes away but you can learn to live with it. For instance when we go shopping, he drops me off at the front door since I will be walking around the store, I use the shopping cart as an aid for not putting alot of pressure on my left leg.
