I think the answer is no but lately I’ve heard a lot of controversial uses for a lot of drugs prescribed for Fibro Myalgia, etc. Some prescribe antidepressants for FM patients, some prescribe anti-epileptic meds, etc. If you didn’t know already, I suffer from Bipolar Disorder so I have a psychiatrist that I see every few months for about 30 minutes of talk therapy and medication management. I am not an addict of any kind, I’m not out scouting for pain medication, I just liked the way it “de-stressed” me last year the night and morning of my surgery. I was prescribed Lyrica, not sure what dose but it was pretty low, for the first week of my recovery period and also to take the night before and morning of surgery. The medication made me feel so at peace, it was like pot in pill form. I was just chilled out and not in a “I’m passing out” or “zzz” sort of way…I was fully functioning, not high at all and felt my stress just release.
Does anyone know if they are doing tests to put out trials for this? Or can I be prescribed Lyrica through my psych for anxiety management? I’m not 100% familiar with prescription medications vs the law or even if some states in the US don’t allow them but for certain things…I know, that makes me sound so dumb. I apologize for my ignorance.

I don’t know if MHRA only covers England and Wales but there should be quality audits of all pharms and dodgy/fake stuff results in alerts being issued to every healthcare organisation, we get them at work quite regularly – they used to be sent by fax but they are currently sent to the matron/head nurses email and it would be pushing to boundaries of ethics to trigger a “compliance check” to see what is in there (it takes bloody ages too, and the app which processes the decryption key often also acts up).
I need to speak to the matrons anyway next week about a new internal comms system they have requested and if I remember will mention this to them, although I suspect all thats happened is the printing format has changed and the new datasheet hasn’t been properly communicated to the pharms or whatever NI’s authorities are for quality checking.
That’s weird that the fakes and the real ones look different as far as the punch outs are concerned.
Well that’s the problem are they fake, I’m not sure I was told they were but have no clue
Technical I have 3 different types here and there all different so the person who told me that was probably taking shit, I’ll try and upload better picture of all 3

These all appear to be from legit companies that have a valid license at MHRA, Pfizers original patent is disputed in the UK and EU (it may since have expired altogether).
In 2015 pharmacists in North East England were advised that the generic variants may be prescribed for some conditions and MHRA were discussing the patent issues with Pfizer.
