lyrica gives you without noticing a high. Mood altering the first two or three times after you take it. It was recommended to be to control mild anxiety. After you take it for a few weeks you become an addict of the medicine and it is a problem for those addicts to take it away.
You need to go over high doses of iboprufen and reducing gradually this horrible drug
This durg should be prohibited from the market.
Hmmm! I just don't know about this as someone who has been on drugs for (all the class A's and B's and C's) my adult life so I think I know a thing or two about Drug's the affect's and effects on your psyche, (or at least on mine) it all depends on the person.
But that said, Lyrica does have side-effect's, like all drug's do, and it is all about do they work for you and do the benefit's outweigh the side-effect's.
I like you came off them and went back to basically sitting in my wheelchair or at my desk and I got worse due to inactivity and weight gain made it harder for me to manage my pain and my ability to walk, So I eventually went back on them and used them to fight the pain and to keep on moving so that my muscles wouldn't waste away more, so it's how you use them, like all drug's there is a benefit and there is a cost . best Alex
Everybody's system is different. What works for one person, may not work for another. I have tried Lyrica, it worked for up to two hours but I found it made me really tired and lethargic all day. No highs with it for me.
I agree with Alex - medications frequently cause varying side effects for each individual. I was prescribed Lyrica several years ago. It made me feel extremely high (and I know what that feels like.) I have been sober a couple decades, and have no desire to be high, especially not such an extreme high. I didn't take it long. I chose pain over Lyrica.
I am one of those people that patients that have a very high tolerance to meds, BUT Lyrica makes me not be able to keep my eyes open. It is uncontrollable.
I have MS and have been taking Lyrica for 5 years to control pain without any issues. Recently I came off the drug to take part in a clinical trial for another drug. I did this gradually over a week slowly lowering the dose. I did not have any major issues though it a powerful drug and expected a reaction.
I was put on lyrics, a real nasty chemical with weight gain, constipation, it was prescribed for my alcohol y diazepam addiction. I suffer daily chronic back pain, been sent PIP form that's completed. Now I have an ESA form, heck every 3 years same shit.it is not humanly right going over and over. My medical history goes back from 1996. Had 2 triple level fusions, hernia, disc replacement, stenosis, bad facet joints. RFA and now waiting for sarocilic injectios from pain management. I live in Spain and in the support group. If they decided to change this desicion I'm finneshed because my medical will also stop. Very stressed out at the moment.
I was on it the max doae for 2 years. I didn't like it. It didn't help my nerve pain much but coming off was not that bad. I just weaned off slowly over 3 months and I had only a couple of bad days once off completely. If I can wean off anyone can in my opinion. Be tough ! Don't let a little capsule only 1 inch long intimadate you. Kicks it's butt. You can do it.
