Lyrica, neurontin, Klonopin

August 17, 2007

Mr. Windsor, you may be just the one to advise me on Lyrica. How

close is it to neurontin and klonapin? How likely to be addictive? I

am the person who took one Xanax and felt the best I have ever felt

in my life, well almost. So I got terrified that I could become

addicted to it and never took it again.

What about Lyrica?

Oh, I also read that it caused brain swelling in one old lady who

stopped it abruptly. I just don't need that.

drugs often turn out to have unwanted side effects, like addiction.

Look at the history of opium, then heroin (still the best pain

reliever with the fewest adverse outcomes) then methamphetamine (

still possibly the best treatment for ADHD) and GHB Gamma hydroxy

butyrate, now being looked at by big pharma under the name " sodium

oxybate "

medication illicit, it would be funny. And conversely, a harmful

drug, licit, so it can be taxed mightily. I think the world can

probably thank J Edgar Hoover and his cronies for much of this.

though 30 square yards of Lemon Balm to make Tincture of

seems a bit over the top, I don't have that much under potatoes. LOL.

spring here, with a vengeance.
