> Lyrica and Neurontin are alike in many ways. Neither of them like me very much, though. They really screw me up cognitively (probably because of alpha-2-delta subunit of the calcium channel blockade). However, the two did feel different to me. There is some literature describing the use of Neurontin in opioid withdrawal. Results have been equivocal. The dosages used by some were probably too low (900mg). In any event, I would not approach Neurontin with great optimism. I would not skip it over, though.I don't quite understand why Lyrica is a controlled substance (but barely) and Neurontin is not. I have tried Neurontin, and at first it seemed like it could be described as "fun," but those effects went away. Never tried Lyrica. I wonder if it's like Neurontin, but moreso.
