Subject: Lyrica - Performance enhancer? I'm taking Lyrica for neck pain. When I ride, I feel lactic acid burn in my thighs when I'm really hammering it. Thing is, it doesn't bother me while using Lyrica. My heart rate is up, power is up, I'm breathing hard, everything normally associated with a hard effort is there, including the burn. But the burn is not a limiter anymore, I have to let up when I can't get in enough air and my muscles fatigue! Anyone else using it?
Prior to Lyrica, my Doc had me try gabapentin. It completely masked the lactic acid burn in my legs. I felt nothing. Other side effects were really bizarre, so he put me on Lyrica. Has anybody else noticed the same effects when using either of these drugs? Is it banned? I can't seem to find anywhere listing it as a banned substance for athletes.
