It was a long time coming to be honest.Few links to get you started:
GP’s to stop prescribing Pregabalin for nerve pain

Overhaul in Pregabalin use in Northern Ireland could result in deaths
If anyone can’t read then (geo-blocked) let me know and I’ll paste the article, there’s not much to them but this interesting bit:
Doctors will still be allowed to prescribe the drug where they feel it is clinically appropriate.
Pregbalin/gabapentin shouldn’t be prescribed for nerve pain now when there are other more appropriate meds.
Northern Ireland is FLOODED with pregabalin and yes it has contributed to lots of deaths. It’s indicated on a lot of autopsy reports. The kids mix it with whatever else they are taking and don’t realise how potent it is when mixed with benzos/alcohol/tramadol and whatever other prescription meds they are taking.
