Lyrica (pregabalin) and Neurontin (gabapentin) are both considered derivatives of the amino acid gaba, and pretty much work the same way. Here in Canada, Lyrica is not a controlled substance. I have horrid anxiety, and Lyrica really relaxes me, and chills me out. Way, way better than most benzos. Just like a, now legal in Canada, cannabis infused jolly-rancher does on a stressful day.
The government, trying to control all these meds, is silly, I think. I work as a rehab and addictions counsellor, and have a major problem with the government trying to make every drug illicit and illegal. All's that does is fill up jail cells, and clogs up the justice system. IMHO...

Belief that's failed me now
As Life goes from bad to worse
No philosophy consoles me
In a clockwork universe..........
