I was recently prescribed Lyrica for nerve pain… but apparently the drug also works on GAD, and, apparently in high doses, produces the same effects as MDMA and GHB. I personally have not tried taking that high a dose myself, but I don’t even think the drug is controlled. If it is, then it’s only schedule V. My doc even gave me free samples. I had never even heard of this drug until today. Not sure if anyone here really cares, but I found it to be pretty interesting. I also found some interesting articles about it on the web:

“Comparing Lyrica to Klonopin Or Xanax is very difficult, because Lyrica makes your “brain” and “mood” feel different. For me, The benzodizpines make me a little tired, very open and easy to communicate with people without the anxiety. With Lyrica, it is much different feeling. It feels more like (for me) at the higher doses (which only work for anxiety by the way 600mg or more) it feels stimulating, like i want to talk to people and seek out people, and have less anxiety, however, it doesn’t “HIT” you like a benzo would if you know what I mean. It takes about and hour or so to kick in, and it lasts ALL DAY (I am serious about that!)”
“6)depersonaliztion – This is where at the high dose you (or me at least) feel like I am on Extascy or GHB. It is a pleasnt euphoric feeling.”
