> I recall reading several posts in which the individual compared high dose Lyrica (600 mg and above) to Ecstacy and GHB...I personally think that was a bit of an exaggeration, but I was wondering if anyone else is having success with higher doses. I'm stuck at 300 mg...it helps, but not nearly enough. I would say that if anything it's sedating...the person proclaimed that the dose they were on was stimulating, pro-social and that it had a robust effect on their depression. I wouldn't say I'm experiencing that...just a reduction in generalized anxiety. Yeh, so anyone out there whose tried Lyrica, preferably at higher doses than the average patient, respond with your observations and any recommendations you may have.
I am on high dose Lyrica (600 mgs. daily in divided doses) i've never done ecstacy or GHB, so i have nothing to say about that. I was also feeling sedated on 300 mgs., when i got to 500 mgs., BAM!..i could feel the depression lift, a huge increase in energy, pro-social big time, motivation much improved. And i've been on 600 mgs. now for almost 3 months and i am doing VERY WELL. Lyrica is the best med (for me) that i've tried in 26 yrs. of this illness, and believe me, i've been on A LOT. Plse. feel free to ask me anything.
