>it just increases GABA
Lyrica does no such thing. It has no affinity for GABA. Lyrica binds to the α2δ (alpha2delta) subunit of the voltage-dependent calcium channel in the central nervous system. Lyrica also decreases the release of neurotransmitters including glutamate, noradrenaline, substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide.
