The media always like to blow things out of proportion and recently they have latched onto prelagabin talking about how many people get addicted to it and abuse it. In fact the government are going the be making it class c soon because of the deaths associated with it, even though the vast majority of these are where people have mixed it with many other prescription drugs and alcohol (probably all in excessive amounts). I am sure that the government have been pushed by the media storm about this recently, last year nobody knew anything about prelagabin or cared about it's classification.
I wonder how addictive prelagabin actually is? I know it is likely mentally addictive, anything can be, but does it have any physical addictivity? I know in the usually prescribed amounts it is probably not an issue either way, but if someone was prescribed large dosages for an extended period? Could they suffer anything other than potential damage to the kidneys?
