I had an idea of reference that they were talking about me although i know they did not. Also someone on the street said "too lazy to work" and i also had an idea of reference. This was yesterday.

I would start a new thread and ask who has become addicted to Lyrica; being sure to differentiate between true addiction with cravings versus physiologically dependence with withdrawal syndrome. Lyrica tends to work better for GAD than Neurontin. I guess you should try Neurontin first. Let's hope it works for you. However, unless substance addiction has been an issue with you in the past, you could then switch to Lyrica. Any "high" that you might experience with Lyrica wears of very quickly - within a few days. For me, the high was not at all euphoric. It was more of a feeling of being slightly drunk with less anxiety. I felt in some way lighter and less apt to ruminate. "Horse" would be a good person to talk to about Lyrica.

I am looking forward to two things right now. Cannabidiol and Glyx-13. They told me Glyx-13 (Rapastinel) would take until 2018 at the very least though. So i try to make the best of the time.
