Is Lyrica Supposed To Feel Like A Narcotic (Top voted first)

Updated

Why do I feel like I've taken multiple illicit drugs & feeling drunk all at once? Is this supposed to be an all in 1 medication? Does anyone else have the same type of reaction on Lyrica?

It can cause dizziness and drowsiness as side effects. The FDA also lists its other side effects as typically including nausea, headache, dry mouth, weight gain and mood swings.

Thus, the crying spells also make sense. It's actually also used to treat some mood disorders.

If it's causing you severe issues, then it may be best to speak to your medical providers about trying a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
