In reply to Lyrica makes me feel high, posted by meltingpot on August 2, 2018, at 5:28:37
hi. gabapentin kinda did that to me, too, but not as pronounced. plus, neurontin doesn't last as long, so i could usually sleep it off.
where i live (US), the shrinks are still pretty big on the benzodiazepines, not so much lyrica. gabapentin was popular, now it turns out people are mixing it with pills and street drugs, so...i think its becoming less popular. right now, where i live, lyrica is more of a pain management drug, used with other stuff.
anyway...try not to worry, i guess. i think lyrica is supposed to be less problematic than benzodiazepines, so that's always a good thing. obviously, try not to drive if you feel incapacitated, and talk to the shrink about something else if it bothers you or interferes with your daily functioning.
oddly enough...i always found gabapentin made me feel more slowed down than benzodiazepines did, but i think the benzodiazepines actually had a more pronounced effect...somehow, i just didn't notice it as much. strange...
good luck to you. :-)
