Lyrica tablets - what is it, effect, active ingredient

The drug was originally prescribed as a medicine to treat epilepsy. It has an anticonvulsant effect, giving the same effect as antidepressants. Widely used in addiction medicine to relieve withdrawal symptoms. Alas, Lyrica pills for getting high will quickly lead a person to an impressive list of side effects. Since 2012, the drug has been sold only by prescription precisely because of the increased number of Lyrica drug addicts.

The price of these tablets is relatively low, so the drug “lyra” has gained even more popularity among pharmacy drug addicts.

Lyrica action, instructions

The product contains pregabalin - this active substance affects opioid receptors in the human brain. As a result, pain is reduced and there is an anticonvulsant effect. The medicine has proven itself in the treatment of generalized anxiety symptoms. Analogues of the drug contain substances similar in action, for example, Algerica, Gabana.

Lyrica's instructions indicate doses for the treatment of certain diseases - from 150 to 600 mg per day. In addition, withdrawal from the drug should be gradual - the dose is reduced daily. After stopping the medication, reactions such as nausea, depression, excessive sweating, chills and lack of appetite are possible.

HOW TO HELP A DRUG ADDICT IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE TREATED

Ways to use Lyrica

The harm from lyrics is further aggravated by the method of administration. Drug addicts practice several methods of use:

together with alcohol, which greatly accelerates the destruction of the liver and kidneys;
standard oral administration without dosage control and diet causes disruption of the gastrointestinal tract;
Some drug addicts believe that if the drug is inhaled, the rush will increase. Perhaps such an effect is present, but at the same time the respiratory tract is affected, and the risk of spasms increases;
Parenteral administration (intravenously) is dangerous due to the occurrence of sepsis, transmission of HIV and hepatitis, and the likelihood of blood clots increases many times over.

Even short-term use of the medicine (including under the supervision of a doctor) can be addictive.

Drug effect

The effect of the drug "Lyra" is similar to the effect of heroin - a person feels euphoria, relaxation, and bliss. Some people experience a surge of strength and extraordinary love for everyone around them.

Pregabalin

This substance is a synthetic substitute, a synthetic analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid. Absorption is quite fast, which is what drug addicts take advantage of. In addition, pregabalin is not detected by standard tests; it can only be detected by chemical and toxicological analysis of human biomaterial.

Symptoms of drug use - how to understand that a person is on Lyrica

How to recognize a person who uses this drug for a high? Most often you will notice empty Lyrica packs in the trash can or pockets. At the same time, the drug addict believes that he will not be exposed, because this is medicine. This is a complete lie - the drug is not sold without a doctor’s prescription, and for this there must be serious indications for use. Other signs include:

absent-mindedness, the addict periodically completely “disconnects” from the world around him”;
a person may stagger, he cannot control his body even when walking normally;
frequent mood swings from laughter to deep depression, and all this alternates;
heavy sweating with a strong unpleasant odor;
slurred speech.

Eyes are the main feature

The most important sign of drug intoxication is the eyes. When using Lyrica, you can see dilated pupils that do not react to light, your eyes do not focus and constantly run around.

Sometimes the opposite effect is observed - the eyes become glassy and practically do not move even when communicating. Anyone who has ever seen a drug addict will understand what it looks like. There is a possibility of severe redness of the whites of the eyes.

Contraindications for use

It is not recommended to take this drug if:

hypersensitivity to any component;
rare hereditary diseases, for example, galactose intolerance, lactase deficiency and others;
patients under 17 years of age.

In addition, caution should be exercised when prescribing Pregabalin to patients with renal and heart failure with a history of drug dependence. Treatment of such patients should be carried out under close medical supervision.

Side effects from Lyrica

Like any other drug, Lyrica has an impressive list of side effects: tremors of the limbs, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, increased sweating, hallucinations, dry mucous membranes, bloating, lack of sexual desire and erection. Due to frequent diarrhea, it is possible to wash out all useful substances from the body, in particular calcium, which threatens osteoporosis.

Memory lapses, so common to many drug addicts, are also relevant when taking Lyrica. A person may not remember what happened an hour or a day ago.

How does it affect potency?

As mentioned above, the drug almost completely eliminates libido. At the same time, problems with potency may not be solved even after stopping taking Lyrica. There are known cases of infertility.

How addiction is formed

The addiction to the drug forms unnoticed by the user - the first doses only bring a feeling of high. Next, the body begins to adapt to the active substance and requires increasingly larger dosages to return to the original sensations. Often, an increase in the amount of Lyrica can cause a sharp change in mood and causeless aggression even towards close people. There are known cases of suicide under the influence of the drug.

Reviews of Pregabalin

On the Internet you can find numerous reviews about Pregabalin Richter and other drugs with a similar active ingredient. These drugs are quite common in clinical practice and are often prescribed by specialists for the treatment of neuropathic pain . However, if this disease occurs in patients who also suffer from diabetes , then Pregabalin Lyrica is more effective .

Of course, taking this drug does not exclude the development of side effects, for example: nausea and dizziness , which may occur at the beginning of therapy. Therefore, doctors often recommend taking the drug at night.

In any case, you should not choose a medicine yourself. To do this, you need to see a doctor who can prescribe proper treatment.

Is it possible to die from Lyrica?

This medicine, at an adequate dosage prescribed by a doctor for the treatment of certain diseases, is not capable of causing death. But drug addicts most often combine Lyrica with other drugs or alcohol, and also do not control the number of pills. In this case, an overdose occurs and the corresponding phenomena are vomiting, diarrhea, confusion and coma.

If a drug addict has heart or kidney problems (and almost 80 percent of drug users have them), then death from an overdose is also possible. It is worth noting that such cases occur when taking Lyrica for a sufficiently long time. The lethal dose of a drug is individual for everyone, it all depends on the duration of use and the condition of the body as a whole.

DOTOXIFICATION

Overdose

In case of an overdose of Pregabalin, the following may develop:

affective disorders;
drowsiness;
confusion;
depression;
agitation and restlessness.

Such cases require gastric lavage, maintenance therapy, and sometimes hemodialysis.

Alcohol compatibility

Drug addicts often combine alcohol and Lyrica. This is done to enhance the effect. Such a tandem is doubly dangerous:

alcohol reduces the breakdown and release of pregabalin, which can result in severe intoxication of the body;
the combination of medication and alcohol can cause powerful disturbances of consciousness and hallucinations.

Everything also depends on the concentration and strength of alcoholic beverages, as well as on the dosage of the medicine. In large quantities, this combination can cause mental disorder.

Lyrica Test

It was already mentioned above that this drug is not detected by standard urine and blood tests. These tests are designed to detect marijuana, heroin, cocaine and other drugs. It is possible to conduct a chemical and toxicological examination. However, the medicine does not belong to the list of narcotic substances.

Interaction

It has been established that Pregabalin is predominantly excreted unchanged through the kidneys, undergoing minimal metabolism in the human body, and does not interact with blood plasma proteins. For these reasons, its potential for pharmacokinetic interactions is greatly reduced.

However, there have been cases where patients simultaneously took Pregabalin and CNS depressants , causing respiratory failure and coma .

The drug may have a negative effect on the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, causing intestinal obstruction , paralytic ileus , if it is taken simultaneously with medications that cause constipation , for example, opioid analgesics .

Medical therapy

Treatment for a drug addict taking Lyrica is virtually no different from therapy for a heroin and other drug user. It can be roughly divided into two stages:

removing the drug from the body, cleansing it, replenishing the lack of fluid;
further therapy, including withdrawal symptoms, drug treatment, and psychological rehabilitation.

After the drug is removed from the body and withdrawal symptoms are eliminated, it is important to conduct a comprehensive examination. This will allow you to understand what you need to pay attention to. Most often, drug addicts suffer from liver, kidneys and heart.

DRUG ADDICTION TREATMENT IN MOSCOW

The most difficult stage is not physiological, but psychological - the drug can be easily removed from the blood, but it is very difficult to remove it from consciousness. Psychotherapy is mandatory for all patients. Sessions with a specialist or in a group will help to cope with a person’s internal problems, which often lead to drugs.

Another difficulty is returning to normal life, because outside the clinic the likelihood of buying a drug is at every turn. It is best to continue psychotherapy sessions for an addicted person regularly throughout life. They are also necessary for family and friends - often parents, husbands, wives, brothers or sisters become codependent and do not know how to behave correctly.

The drug Lyrica is nothing more than a medicine used to combat pain and cramps. To be precise, Pregabalin, also known as Lyrica, is an antiepileptic drug. It is a strong pain reliever.

The pregabalin molecule, being an analogue of GABA, binds to the additional subunit (?2?) of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system, which contributes to the manifestation of analgesic and anticonvulsant effects. A decrease in seizure frequency begins within the first week.

Lyrica is not a therapeutic drug, but a symptomatic one. Helps very well with neuropathic pain. The pain goes away, but the pathology remains, REMAINS. A herniated disc can only be cured surgically; other types of supposed treatment involve eliminating pain for a short period of time. Personally, two 75 mg capsules twice a day are enough for me. In the morning and in the evening. For a drug addict, this dosage is “a drop in the bucket.” They can always find this drug in a pharmacy without a prescription, 300 mg capsules. Two per appointment. But people with pain syndrome may not even get a prescription. Pharmacists find errors in the prescription every time. They take away the recipe, and you’re left with “butter.” Corruption is all around. At the doctor, at the pharmacist. I didn't even know what was written in my medical history. You'll never know what prescription you've been given. There is one dosage in the medical history, and another in the prescription. And the discharge date doesn’t match. I’m HORROR!

To everyone who will read this article after they have been prescribed Lyrica or Convalis. Yes, the drugs are quite powerful and have consequences. Unfortunately, the neurologist prescribes only a course of complex treatment. hepabeptin, Lyrica, injections, vitamins B1 and B6, etc. Amitriptyline goes there too. None of the above will relieve pain immediately. The pain is relieved by a set of measures and course. Those. when you come in with severe pain, there is a 99% chance you will come out without a short-term solution. They will tell you to hold on, the pain will go away in a month (or maybe in 6). See for yourself in the direction of distracting ointments. Perhaps they will prescribe a Versatis patch, it is expensive, and if the pain is severe(!), the reduction does not justify the price. Moreover, after the patch there is a 12-hour break and it will hurt. Strong painkillers (or God forbid tramadols, etc.) are generally when things are really bad. Look towards oflomelid (if the damage is not severe) or gevkamen (this one remarkably relieves pain, costs 50 rubles), but not a single doctor talks about it. Also be sure to consult a dermatologist and neurologist. Don't take my comment as a ready-made solution.

For some reason, everyone is silent about Cymbalta. For example, my doctor prescribed Lyrica and Cymbalta to drink at the same time. I have polyneuropathy. The pain is partially relieved. The doctor said that Lyrica should be added per capsule. I tried to add it, but at the same time my head and temples were compressed on the sides. I didn't drink the second one. I don’t know how long to take it. Everyone around, both doctors and people, say we need to get away from this nasty thing. As much as we are doctors, we have in common so many different opinions. One
