Pregab questions

[Sammy]

Hi friends, wondering if anyone has tried pregab to lower inhib and can share how they did it.

Generally if prescribed by a doc, you would take it daily not on a when needed basis.

But what turns me off doing this are the side effects, especially weight gain and bloating. Weight gain is manageable, if i stick to counting my calories and could take reta if its really making me more hungry but doubt the effect would be that much.

Bloating though, not much i can do about it. Specially it causes edema, bloating/swelling in hands and feet. Anyone who leaves their crib knows foids hate chubby hands, we cant be having this.

But the bloating would be very minimal/not at all, if taken on a when need basis instead of daily. Im just really not sure if it would even work/be safe taken this way.

So what do you think chuds?
Sry if theres to much yapping, but these are my core questions questions
Can you take it on a when needed basis?
In your experience has it causes bloating/weight gain?
And would it clash with any of the other drugs i take?
which are: Selank,MT2,Modafinil,Propranolol,Hydroxyzine,Accutane, Reta

u are cooked

u are cooked

why they all have their place, i do not take them all daily

accutane is bad for liver, why reta when u can just go calorie deficit or keto jfl, also reta is under researched and long term effects are unknown, selank is also very under researched for longterm, why MT2 u can tan in the sun plus brown tan isnt ideal

Accutanes benifits outweigh the potential side effects imo

Keto bro, r u fr. that shit is dumb as fuck.
And i track my cals allready, but i have started reta as i try to get very lean. I have lost heaps of weight before normal deiting, but getting super lean is hard, reta makes it easier. i believe its safe.

selank is chill i dont take it much, only before stressful days, i doubt any damage is being casued.

i do not tan easily i jus get sun burnt, trust me i have tried I live in aus, but mt2 has given my skin a really nice brown glow, that i have not been able to get from the sun, maybe i would if i spent an hour a day tanning or some shit but i dont want skin cancer. Im really happy with the results, will stop soon as nearly at desired tan.

not trying to hate, and honestly i respect ppls choice to avoid drugs entirely. im not saying this shit is healthy, but its just a risk im willing to take, there are other things i dont take becouse of their sides, everyone draws a line somwhere

nope, many people after cycles of accutane still get acne back and also potential liver failure, skin issues can be fixed with a good diet

keto diet yields 10% better benefits than calorie deficit, yeah reta makes it easier, but that means u gotta keep taking it and no, it might be safe in the short term but there is no long term data

an hour a day tanning or some shit but i dont want skin cancer.

an hour of tanning is healthy u wont get skin cancer, but why would u need a brown glow?

my statement was subjective, to me its worth it, my doctor also thinks so or else i would not have it. I already eat a diet of clean whole foods, i am not willing to cut anything else.

Only a calorie deficit determines fat loss, eating 1500 cals on a lowcarb deit will result in the same fat lost as 1500 on a balanced deit counting, obv there are small differences in the foods eaten and energy required to break down but thats negligible. Any extra weight lost on a keto diet is water weight, less carbs = less water stored, once the diet is over you will gain it back, it makes no difference.
However carbs are essential, i would not have any energy to train without them, and i would experience alot more muscle breakdown on keto, because i am not able to train with good intensity, even if protein is the same. I would actually argue that in an indirect way, keto results in less fat loss, due to less energy.
As for reta, i do not have to keep taking it, i just use it for the end of a cutting phase. Main gaining does not require reta for me.

an hour of tanning is healthy u wont get skin cancer, but why would u need a brown glow?

Right now it has been a constant uv of 10-12 at the times ive been able to tan, thats dangerous. Brown glow suits me, i have had many complements on it, i like. Again, subjective.

keto diet leads to weightloss due to ketosis bruh, low insulin dictates fat loss too btw, its not only calories, initially its water weight then ur body transitions and burns fats to produce ketones which are much efficient energy

 

[Sammy]

ketones which are much efficient energy

what, 2010 mum science . jus diff source of fuel not more efficient for fatloss that isnt a thing

low insulin dictates fat loss too btw,

incorrect, it makes it just easier by effecting metabolism, still calories in calories out. Pretty poor benefit compared to the downsides of keto

Honestly bro, this is all very out of date thinking. More recent studdies have proven keto to have the same rate of fatloss compared to someone on same cals balanced diet. This has just become a accepted fact in the fitness community, you are telling me broscience or rather mumscience. There is no real benefit to keto

ur brain prefers ketones btw, they are metabolically advantages leads more ATP per gram, Ketones have a higher phosphate-to-oxygen and also increase mitochondrial efficiency

incorrect, it makes it just easier by effecting metabolism, still calories in calories out. Pretty poor benefit compared to the downsides of keto

yes it does high upregulation of insulin leads to more storage of fat, unironically a high calorie diet does lead to higher upregulaton of insulin and high insulin blocks ghrelin and upregulates leptin btw

can u show me a study?, keto diet also preferably reduces visceral fats and keeps on muscle

don't listen to him he's a r****d, 1. Accutane is not going to cause liver failure in any user on this forum, its a mild stressor at best. 2. The reason people get recurrent acne after stopping accutane is they didn't reach a certain mg/kg dose accumulation. And no you don't have to constantly take Reta, albeit it is preferable and ideal to continue reta ( its cheap so it shouldn't matter )

I take it and I got it by telling my doctor I had neuropathic pain after jaw surgery.

Idk about the swelling I have facial swelling from trimax but no side effect. It reduces my anxiety a lot and paired with adderal it lowers inhib in my case. It did not cause weight gain because I take it with tirz, but even when tapering off it, it didn't. If you take it on a when needed basis you will need much higher doses to see effect because it's a drug that works with prolonged use. I take it everyday no matter what, but I don't recommend driving with it because it does make you feel kinda drunk, at least for me.
