A member asked:

I am on lyrica (pregabalin) and i feel high is that normal?

Well....: Well, not normal, but can be a side effect in some folks. All meds are some form of tradeoff, so maybe discuss with your provider whether it is worth it.

Not uncommon!: This is a major reason for discontinuing the drug! But your dosage may be high. Talk with doc!
