lyrica question?

In my n/a mtg I've met a woman (she was obviously loaded) and she says she takes lyrica. What is that...I thought it was non-narcotic but I have never seen someone behave like this. It was scary to see this, reminded me of where I didn't want to be for sure, but I'm not familiar with w/d off of this, so I don't really know what to tell her. I can pray for her, but she needs more than prayer. The "tics" are unreal???? Any info would be appreciated.

Plenty people abuse lyrica.

"7 - Patients who have had prior drug or alcohol problems may be more likely to misuse Lyrica."

"As with any prior significant medical problem, patients who have abused or been addicted to drugs or alcohol in the past should inform their doctor. Because of the increased possibility of misuse of Lyrica in these individuals, closer monitoring may be necessary or another treatment may be preferable."
