Beware of ataxia
As prescribed, it's safe, but be aware of the side effects of these meds; especially lyrica. If you think benzos can knock you off balance have a hard hit of lyrica's side effects;ataxia, link those to actual benzo and a narcotic; get used to the effects and how you react to them before you are put in a position where you need full motor skills and reasoning.
*I was on lyrica for quite a while, as my PCP is a DO and loves any alternative to the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List", and it took some time to get used to the balance issues I had while taking 300mg dose of lyrica. ataxia was the most annoying side effect I experienced.
Peace and love
