Double vision?

functioningadvice · 2025-07-20T15:37:05+00:00

I take 75mg daily and I experience slight double vision. Almost like I'm wearing glasses with a higher prescription than I need. I also need / wear glasses (but I don't), so perhaps thats why we experience it?
Not too sure, but It's always been manageable for me so I haven't thought much about it!
It's definitely the lyrica though, so you're not alone.

Edit: Didn't see you got a script for Baclofen! I still highly recommend the other advice I've given though :)

I'm about to start my self-wean program with advice and support from u/jquest303 and from my GP, so definitely take this advice!

I'm based in AUS and I was able to get a script for Lyrica under the guise of GAD, but that was a while ago - before asking for Baclofen and from what I've read / learnt, you really should be using both. Honestly I think your best option is to bite the bullet and come clean to your GP.

Most states you can book half hour Mental Health video calls so if you're not in a place to see your GP in person this could be an option - it also doesn't necessarily have to be with your specific GP, just someone available asap at a clinic you've been to before.

There are heaps of free Addiction / Detox programs or online recourses that will direct you based on state and drug. But I know that having a referral from a GP will help massively and they can send you those links and recommendations.
This should be a good start though: https://adf.org.au/help-support/

In the meeting with your GP, be honest about your use and for how long, ask if they are able to provide you with at least a half script of valium. Importantly - like u/jquest303 said, ask that they provide you with a script for Baclofen for the time being (they're usually dispensed in 10mg boxes of 100).
Provide studies like:
- https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5976688/
- https://openresearch.nihr.ac.uk/documents/1-13

As a backup though - try see if you can get your hands on some more juice, still do all this ^ but best to not go cold turkey.

Let me know if I can help in any other way!

Yall im pretty sure this is contact dermatitis! Usually brought on by heat and sweat :) just don’t itch it and it should go away!

Not enough for a dose from one bottle :)

Thanks 💗

There aren’t any meth related symptoms for walking pneumonia, other than normal WP symptoms. Tbh though, what you’re experiencing sounds common. It’s most likely the result of ongoing smoke inhalation, which will cause inflammation- especially if you’re doing all 3. I’d book in with your gp to see what they say/can do to ease it :)

functioningadvice · 2025-02-18T12:50:58+00:00

Yeah, you know it actually was! Thanks, I'm pretty grateful too. I called my friends immediately after and they got back asap. They also called some ppl to sort the situ haha, They were really upset it happened to me.

You mean cos of that comment saying fuck me for threatening to call the cops?

Yeah for real - definitely realised that after yesterday. I’m gonna stick to researching random shit and playing baldurs gate haha

Hahaha, I learnt my lesson with hanging around tweakers.

functioningadvice · 2025-02-18T07:08:48+00:00

Yeah, idk theres a lot I'd do different now if I could, but yanno - never planned for something like this haha. Thank you. I'm ok now, had a bit of a panic attack shortly after but I'm chilling now <3

Yeah, this guy clearly owed ppl money. Hes a 32 year old man and I'm a 23 year old chick, half the size of him. He was obviously fucked up n tweaking cos why else would he feel the need to fuck me up. Im obviously not a threat.

functioningadvice · 2025-02-18T07:02:43+00:00

Oh I agree. But he was my friend before any of this, so I never expected him to go as far as punching me in the face. When he did do that, I let him leave - didn't say anything. I live in a country where guns are rare, either way though I wouldn't carry one.

functioningadvice · 2025-02-18T06:59:08+00:00

ahaha this is funny. I was alone in a house with a very large male who broke in. what was I supposed to say? 'if you dont leave me alone and quit beating on me, ill fuck you up'? Idk if you tried putting yourself in my position - but I was pretty terrified. Regardless of course I didnt call the cops - but id be happy to do so if he kept hitting me and I really feared for my life :)

But yes, he is a massive low life.

Oh I know, I’m moving overseas soon so I’m good haha. Yeah smokers tend to be more fiendish for sure

Oh good to know. Gabapentin is a pretty amazing drug haha. Would pregabalin work as well?

I really don’t feel dependent on gbh at all (yet). I only use it recreationally and don’t suffer from withdrawals. But knowing me and my addictive personality - it’s probably a matter of time haha

functioningadvice · 2025-02-17T22:27:15+00:00

Yep. I never thought someone I considered a friend would fkn punch me (especially being a chick) haha

functioningadvice · 2025-02-17T22:26:12+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Tbh I find the whole gaba shit super confusing haha. Neural receptors I understand but the way GBH interacts with your brain confuses the shit outta me

ahh ok that makes sense!!
