Gosh, I hope not.
It seems that I react very badly to both Neurontin and Lyrica. They blunt my cognition and worsen my depression in a way where I become less functional. What's more, these effects last for 4-6 weeks after discontinuation. I think the reason for this is that both drugs are antagonist ligands for the alpha2delta subunit of the calcium receptor. No calcium influx equals no transduction of the action potential.
I like benzodiazepines.
