Both Neurontin and Lyrica affected me cognitively. I felt as if I were somehow pinned to the floor and could not think. I was in a perpetual mental fog. With both drugs, this state lasted for 2 - 3 weeks after discontinuing them. They are poison to me. I am suspicious that antagonism of the alpha2delta-1 subunit of the calcium receptor is the culprit.

yes....i've taken lyrica it does someone cloud the thoughts, i've read many times it helps with the mood, but the cognitive part it does start to be a small problem

i take 400mg of lamictal and now im starting to realize it's effecting my cognitive, im too spaced....but same with lyrica even though they don't work similar actions

I made a goofy response to you in the cocktail thread where I suggested an insane dose of Lyrica for better mood stabilization. I said that I had to discontinue it for this reason: cognitive decline. So ignore that post, lol.
