I have a medical condition (neuropathy pain) and a doctor is going to prescribe me something called "Pregabalin", which also seems to work as treatment for generalized anxiety disorder.
I'm against psychiatric drugs and I think they were created by the devil. Many people I know have becomes permanently changed from taking anti depressants, it literally looks like they lost the will to live and just go on surviving for no particular purpose, and same thing with people who are using xanax.
I don't want to buy into (((pharma))) but I really need help, but it also looks like this particular medication affects the brain if it works on generalized anxiety disorder. I can't have that at all and it's very suspicious. I'm older now so any changes or damage to my brain will probably be permanent.
Am I going to turn into another empty zombie from these pills? I've tried to do research on the subject but nothing pertinent has come up.
No one cares about your mental illness faggot, post the sauce
Michael Wilson
heres a quick tip user: if someone "has depression", and they try every "antidepressant" on the market, and it still doesn't help them, they dont have depression. lyrica was invented as an anticonvulsant and due to this, it fucks with GABA. just try another med if lyrica doesnt help
It's great for permanently altering your brain chemistry.
Gavin Ross
just google it if you want to know of a drug and its real purpose you nigger i cant explain everything
Connor Hall
go take a boatload of methylcobalamine B12 it will take care of your nerves for you
Landon Hall
Do us all a favor and sell your guns before you take that shit.
Wyatt Cruz
I tried that. Nothing came up, really.
Google is in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies. Their search algorithm purposely filters any decent results. That's why I came here.
Any more.

Your pain is caused by your brain not wanting to think about the negative emotions you harbor.
Read "Healing Back Pain" and stop going to your doctor.
David Walker
Agreed Stay away from b6 makes it worse
Kevin Brown
I had cyanocobalamine B12 injections for two months. Didn't work very well.
Hunter Williams
i don't know but that girl should have that bra tattooed onto her tits

what more could you possibly want to know?
Zachary Gray
It's neuropathy as a result of a chronic illness. There's no reading my way out of this one.
Justin Perez
methylcobalamin > cyanocobalamin
Brody Collins
had a lower right side brachial plexopathy injury. they wanted me on all sorts of shit as you cant operate on that. its painful and difficult but go no drug unless it gets fucking awful. and stay the fuck away from ibuprofen
Gabriel Hall
What exactly is altered and by how much, maybe.. There's zero information. I figured if there were pharmabros or medanons here they had access to different material.
Gabapentin is used to treat some types of seizures and for postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain caused by shingles). Wife took it post chemo 4 nerve ending pain, worked. She doesn't take it now as side effects went away.

Dr. Sarno's work would still help your pain regardless, especially if you are the correct personality type. Pain is a mental game first and foremost.

I don't know what any of that stuff means, honestly.
Did she notice anything with her head? Reaction time changes or memory or mood or anything?

sometimes if you create more pain somewhere else the first pain doesn't hurt.. try stubbing your toe real hard/

You should smoke cigarettes

I feel it when I sleep. I mean I'll give it a shot, but I'm not expecting much.
Thanks

If those tiddies don’t give you a zest for life, I don’t know what will
Jace Roberts
The nerve endings in my feet are fucked. If I stub a toe, I won't feel it probably.
Michael Cook
Fuck I know, right? Yet here I am.
Bentley Gonzalez
is this from the beetus?
Justin Green
Why the fen friend?
Asher Evans
Yeah. But it's not from neglect or anything. I've been an active person all my life and very mindful of my health, one day shit just went downhill. That's all. Doctors know this, too.
Jayden Green
Gabapentin somewhat works I had spinal disc hernia causing nerve pinch making my right arm paralyzed, had spinal stenosis too along osteomyelitis in the joints at the same time. Fucked my c6-c7-t1 vertebra with lifting. MRI scan said no surgery needed, was hospitalized almost 10days, got betamethazone injections in neck, some gelatine substance directly into joints, nuclear tier antibiotics in iv, pain killers, inflammation reducers, additional magnesium and calcium because I was fainting due to meds. The neck was locked with a sponge collar had a special pillow too. Watched tv shitposted over wifi from ipad. Still take occasionally gabapentin for those small electric shocks in my back takes a year for them to disappear. Take a low dose diazepam before going to swim so muscles don't clench on nerves accidentally. Swimming is always prescribed after spine damage once you rested enough. Not a medic I work as legal consultant. I just take good notes of procedures because it comes with my job too. You mentioned Xanax I used that too for daily stress. Gapapentin is mild while Xanax can knock you out like booze you will have trouble editing documents and driving, not to mention zero sex drive after a week of use.
Justin Collins
basically dude, more GABA = more muscle relaxation. any 1 drug can affect someone else completely differently in the end. thats really all there is to say about it
Zachary Davis
its not the safe drug people assume it to be, especially over longer term, and by that i mean even only a few months. causes havoc with the GI tract
Justin Garcia
we aren't really into jew books, written by a jew endorsed by a jew come on gtfo
Ethan Gomez
Shit.... you got all that healthcare in Romania? That's great.
Can you take gabapentin whenever you feel you need it, or do you have to take it for a long time to get it to build up in your system?
What comes at the expense of muscle relaxation? I want to be a normal person and exercise again. I love running and riding bikes, I can't now because it hurts too much.
Brandon Long
Does it affect the head in any way? I figured there was something to it, but the GI part never came up anywhere.
Kayden Walker
Why would you discount everything ever written by a Jew? Do you understand how stupid that sounds?
William Watson
Don't take it. It will fuck you up worse than opiods. Same for gabraprentin. Trust me, I had to try them all after an artillery accident. Those nerve drugs also have to be taken non-stop, it takes a while before they start working, and they have terrible withdrawal symptoms (like brain shocks, for real).
Wyatt Morris
I would look at lion's mane mushroom.
Mason Jenkins
hes talking about ibuprofen like i said every drug ever can produce any side effect ever, but if you're asking about lyrica, the most common one is probably lightheaded-ness. can probably also fuck with your emotions either which way
Jonathan Torres
DO NOT TAKE IT
street drugs are 'healthier' than any pharma shit, i've been on it all, if you are in pain you should meditate (gay i know) smoke weed, stretch (thats a big one for curing pain) and walk/run. Pharma meds, i've been on pregabalin, are poison and will bluepill you superfast.
I had a plump jewy guy give me 5 meds at once for depression, they fucked me up and he kept blaming my fucked up ness as deep mental disorders where I was going to be hospitalized and have people sodomize me for 2 months in case i had razor blade in my butt for suicide. I quit the meds, smoked some weed, chilled with friends and got away from my shitty family and it reduced my stress. Kike. Since then i've quit the weed but when you need it, it is an important tool.
Juan Brown
its an anti inflammatory and afaik hasnt got the same effect on the central nervous system as some other compounds ITT.
I really like truckers speed. It would give me an extra eight hours to watch anime and make me fit into my old clothes.
Robert Butler
i would try weed before any shit a (((doctor))) gives me. a friend that was on 3 different meds after coming home from war dropped all of them when he started smoking weed. stopped sperging out and now has a steady life.

Anxiety and stress amplifies pain. That is common knowledge.

I read you loud and clear but I know what I'm doing. I didn't say anything here that I wasn't supposed to.
Last time I smoked that stuff I must've been like 16, I don't like it.
Nathan Allen
I'm not anxious or stressed. Things just hurt.
Connor Taylor
your stress has caused you to make this thread and you are anxious about the drugs' results user, dont be silly
Robert Murphy
Psych nurse fag here, pregabin is what we give to old ladies who are so desperate for attention that they feel 'unexplained' pain. Have you tried not being a faggot?
Zachary Jones
you don't have to smoke it. its not about getting high, its about removing pain. I suggest you research it before you take prescription drugs.
David Morgan
Been there done that. None of the gabas did shit for my pain. I tried all kinds of shit, and I found three things that work, and they only work in conjuction. >strength training >pot >meditation I could honestly get away without the meditation but it helps mentally when the pain is overwhelming and I can't do both the other two.
Cooper Peterson
I'm trying to decide whether it's better to not feel pain and turn retarded or feel pain and be aware.
Aiden Mitchell
Fag is right.
Move on, "nurse"
Ian Lewis
What kind of pain?
Alexander Evans
Fibro, long term now. Tbh the gabas didn't give me any crazy side effects, they just didn't really help.
Christopher Jones
dont give in to the drugged up zombie meme like you asked in your op. and dare i say again, theres not ONE drug you HAVE to be on for the rest of your life. literally give in to smoking weed or something i dont know. you could try these herbal meds too. if not, just tell your doctor next month or whenever of your unwanted side effects and you will have jew pop you out another brand drug
Jordan Thomas
You are obviously anxious about your pain, as you have made 21 posts thus far relating to it.
David Butler
OP. I can share what I know on this as a ((pharm school)) drop out. Pregabalin does mess with GABA receptors as anons mentioned above. GABA is your nervous systems chief neuroinhibitory transmitter- I short it acts at neurons to regulate synaptic transmission and thus nerve activation. Your neuropathic pain is a result of too little GABA around the neurons of the affected extremity. Most likely your hands/digits. Pregabalin (lyrica) mimics GABA (hence the name PreGABAlin) and attempts to restore proper regulatory transmission in your nerves. Its a controlled substance because it affects the CNS and can really fuck you up if you abuse it. What's worse than that is it costs a fuckton. And with good reason. Theres another med called gabapentin (neurontin) that is a bit less effective at thr same mg dose compared to lyrica. My point is that lyrical us not the best first option- you might benefit from using neurontin first, seeing if that works for you, and changing over if needed. Neurontin is cheap and insurance will most likely cover it. Plus its not a controlled substance.
Don't fall for the ((doctor always knows best)) meme. Tell him you wanna try gabapentin first.
Good luck
Anthony Thomas
I've been to a whole bunch of doctors. Here and abroad. Some very accomplished people. I've even omitted the fact that I was referred because of my preexisting condition.. same shit all the time.
It's going to get worse, nerve endings don't regenerate. And once they're killed off, they go higher until they get your heart.
Robert Morris
Thanks, man. Any permanent or long term side effects from either? And do I have to take them all the time or just when it gets bad?
Brody Hall
You have to take it all the time, and you can't stop taking it suddenly or it will fuck you up.
David Stewart
Start micro dosing pscilocibin and thank me later pain will go away
Angel Hughes
> >I've been to a whole bunch of doctors. Here and abroad. Some very accomplished people. I've even omitted the fact that I was referred because of my preexisting condition.. same shit all the time. That was me too. After the 5th same dx I actually believed it. It's hard to trust a dx that relies on ruling on other known conditions. My primary said the same thing about gabapentin, he recommended it when I told him I wanted the least crazy drug possible if I was going to take an rx. Still failed me though, unfortunately. The danger with that me was that the one rx that almost worked was vocoden, but fuck all that Pandoras box. Also about the pot, everyone is going to tell you it's great, and it is for some pain, like the surface pain, nausea, and the crazy sensations, but it doesn't nothing for the deep muscle/skelatal pain for me. That's where the strength training comes in. Otherwise you can just get lazy and sit around and that will actually make the deep pain worse.
Jose Reed
Take it from someone who had severe depression and anxiety all throughout my life: sometimes medication is needed. There are times when nurture is to blame, and what you have to do is change your mindset. In that case, yes drugs aren't the best idea. But if you've had this since you were a kid/early teenager, there's a strong possibility it's nature. Your brain literally might be constructed in a way to make anxiety inevitable, in which case meds are extremely helpful. Which would you rather have, stress that makes you dysfunctional or a slightly altered personality? Meds don't change your core being.
If your anxiety is related to mindset issues, you can read self help books, but be sparing on those. Most of them are fake and new age-crap. The best ones I've found are Mans Search For Meaning and 7 Habits of highly effective people.
i don't know much about lyrica, but i take an ssri, and it's helped me a lot.
anti-depressants should not all be lumped together.
Julian Baker
Lyrica (Pregabalin) is a controlled subatance, so its most likely long term ADEs revolve around dependence. You need to more active on seeking out physical therapy/non-pharm self care if you go that route. Or else you will become increasingly dependent on it and end up on it for life.
I never heard of complaints of gabapentin (Neurontin) while working in the pharmacy. Most folks get fustrated on having to titrate to the right dose for efficacy, but then again most patients are fucking crybabies that end up forcing the doc to prescribe a narcotic.
Look up the dosing ranges for each. You'll find that the avg mg dose for gabapentin can go much higher than pregabalin. So you will probably be taking gabapentin 3TID while Pregabalin is a one and done per day deal.
Just invest in physical therapy and get your nerves checked with a specialist if things get worst.
Anthony Thompson
Pregabalin works very well for neuropathic pain. If you don't get on well with it, there are many other medications that can be used instead. You and your physician should discuss together whether you are getting a benefit from it after a trial period (balancing reduction in pain vs side effects). Just try it, it may have side effects and be unpleasant, in which case you can try something else, cope with other pain management strategies or try a different drug. Bear in mind that side effects usually lessen over time as your bost adjusts to the drug / dose. You're in the driving seat, just be open and frank with your Dr.

CBD oil, is all you need to know, all natural, zero side effects, does not get you high at all like THC
Chase Bailey
Pregabalin would give me random dizzy spells, even after multiple adjustment in dosage. Couldn't do it.
Samuel Evans
Got shingles at an unusually young age and after have no feeling in the left side of my mouth and strange painful numbness on my chest on the left side. They called it postherpetic neuralgia. I refused Pregabalin. I am also against taking medications in general.
If I drink a few beers it distracts me from noticing it, and I try not to wear shirts as much as possible.
I know, it's weird. I guess I am saying if you can stand it, then skip drugs. If it is a problem, start low and move up. It is possible a low dose would be enough to help.
Evan Sanchez
I second this. Heard good results from a buddy of mine a while back.

I tried pregablin and gabapentin both. They were ok while you are on them but it feels pretty weird when you stop
Eli Moore
Anxiety is 100% dietary. You need the right amount of B vitamins for nerve functions; you need magnesium at high rates; you need pro-biotics so nutrients are absorbed, and you must cut down on sugar, alcohol and stimulants. Your nervous system requires nutrients to work properly.
Nathaniel Walker

I hope so. Been about a year with no change.
Juan Evans
People say nerve damage never heals but it really depends on the type. From what I was told if it is caused by an illness it is more likely to heal than when caused by injury.
Xavier Gray
I don't have anxiety. It's nerve damage caused by a degenerative disease.
I've decided against taking any meds. I don't care what happens. I've got temporary relief and fucking withdrawals and side effects on one end, and I've got pain that will probably get less severe after the nerve endings die off.
It just sucks because i've always taken care of myself and did everything I could so it doesn't go this way.
Christopher Bailey
If it is a disease causing it then won't it just get worse? Even nerve damage caused by injuries can progress sometimes.
