In reply to Anxiety: Lyrica vs. Ativan, posted by Lamdage22 on October 18, 2016, at 5:21:55
Short answer:
Lyrica causes dangerous and prolonged withdrawal.
In Sweden we detox pregabalin with pregabalin, in comparison with bzd and like every other drug except opiates who are detoxed with just regular benzodiazepines.It is hell to withdraw from pregabalin after prolonged use.
BUT, it's less reinforcing by nature than Ativan, so yes, it is how you define addiction.
I would, without doubt, go for Ativan any day of the year.
