because someone had a very mild buzz the first time they used it. By making it a controlled substance it complicated the process for people to obtain the prescription since it now requires the patient to visit the physician every 3 months. The price of Lyrica also skyrocketed.

I suppose that if you take a whole bottle of gabapentin at one time it cause euphoria, but why do that when it is easier and less expensive to drink more liquor instead?
