Since we get it differently we feel it differently I take a strong pain killer and in the amount I take it doesnt effect me mentally ,though I follow the Doctors orders and have never in 65 years had a drink and here in Oregon Pot has been legal a long time but it only exacerbates my pain ,. I am lucky in these dark times to have a Doctor who is an epert in Pain Management and not an Anesthesiologists (they are great if they work but after 50 or more they just make things worse for me.
You may have to make a decision between pain and Lyrica ,I wish you well rsdno
