How is Pregabalin abused?

Pregabalin is abused primarily for its sedative and euphoric effects. People misuse the drug by taking higher doses than prescribed or using it without a prescription to experience feelings of relaxation, calmness, or a "high." Some of the ways Pregabalin is abused include:

1. High doses: Users may take excessive amounts to amplify its calming or euphoric effects.
2. Combining Pregabalin with other substances: Pregabalin is sometimes mixed with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs to enhance the sedative effects, which increases the risk of dangerous side effects, including overdose and death. 
3. Non-prescribed use: Some individuals use Pregabalin recreationally without a prescription, often acquiring it from the black market or through friends.
