A: Lyrica (pregabalin) is a medication used to treat nerve pain, seizures, and fibromyalgia. It works by slowing down impulses in the brain that cause seizures and also affects chemicals in the brain that send pain signals across the nervous system.
Why is Lyrica a controlled substance? Lyrica is the brand name for the generic drug Pregabalin. Pregabalin is categorized as a drug treatment for convulsions, partial seizures and general seizures. As further studies were conducted, Pregabalin was also found to be effective in treating generalized anxiety disorder. Also, this drug was also approved last June 2007, to be a choice for treating fibromyalgia.
