An addiction to Lyrica most likely arises without you even realising it has become a crutch and something you depend upon on a daily basis. This anticonvulsant medication initially used to treat epilepsy and seizures can also be prescribed for the treatment of pain from fibromyalgia or peripheral neuropathy. Lyrica is also administered for conditions like anxiety.
Known as ‘The New Valium’, it was designed to conquer certain types of pain but also creates a sense of relaxation, which for some, is an all-consuming and very powerful feeling to resist.
If you have found that you are increasing your daily dose or indeed taking Lyrica far beyond its recommended prescription period for your particular diagnosis, abuse of this medication is a certain factor.

Signs and Symptoms of Lyrica Abuse
Whilst you may not feel that Lyrica has become an issue in your life, think about the following physical and mental side-effects that you may already be experiencing:
Physical side-effects of Lyrica abuse
- A lack of coordination in muscle movements
- Dizziness and drowsiness
- Visual impairment
Mental side-effects of Lyrica abuse
- Depression and suicidal thoughts
- Confusion and/or agitation
- Hallucinations
And these are just a handful of the effects upon your mental and physical health; there are several more, some of which can become life threatening. This is not a drug to be brushed aside as far as its consequences to your well-being are concerned and its addictive nature has been well-noted by medical professionals in recent years.
Effects and Consequences of Lyrica Addiction
An addiction to Lyrica can result in a number of complications, ranging from respiratory problems to gastrointestinal issues, all of which can prove detrimental to your health, both in the short- and long-term.
In addition to the side effects Lyrica alone has on your body, those who mix it with other drugs, such as opioids or even alcohol face even higher health risks and possible death.
Lyrica Withdrawal Symptoms
Drastically decreasing your intake of Lyrica in an attempt to withdraw from its hold is not a wise move, as it can lead to severely uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms that can ultimately lead you back to the drug you were trying to refrain from in the first place.
Withdrawal symptoms depend on the amount of time you have been dependent on the drug, as well as what other substances you may have been taking alongside it.
It is always recommended to seek professional medical supervision when abstaining from Lyrica so that you significantly decrease your risk of relapse and/or further health complications.
