Good info to know about Lyrica for pain.....

[clean_in_ks]

Not really a question.  Just wanted to share something really important for us addicts with pain that may use Lyrica.  On the WebMD.com site where you can check out effects of any drug, precautions, interactions, etc. the med guide says this:  "May cause abnormal drug seeking behavior (addiction).  This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol and/or drugs in the past. Take EXACTLY as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction."
A good precaution for me.....maybe it will help someone else, too.

I have had no desire to rob a pharmacy since being on Lyrica, actually my desire to rob a pharmacy has lessened since being off the opiates and on Lyrica.

Do "they" mean something like robbing a Pharmacy may be the abnormal type of drug seeking behaviour?  

Again, who writes this BS??   HAHAHA!

[Pat1956100]

No, I'm not upset.  Just felt strongly about it.
I went for a nice long walk and it's freaking freezing here.  Then did dishes, made something to eat and now I am pigging out on chocolate.

Thanks for your research, it makes me feel much better.
I think I WAS a normal drug seeker too.

Thanks Vicki, for bringing some perspective to this! No need to rush to judgement or get in a panic.
