I am not sure what is in Lyrica but it is not a controlled substance. I have been prescribed Lyrica for the past 3 to 4 years and I have yet to have it labeled on my bottle as a controlled substance. I would ask your pharmacy why that was put on there. Maybe by accident someone might have thought that they were.

Lyrica is in fact a controlled substance drug. It is a class V controlled substance, the lowest classification but it is indeed a controlled substance. I have the labels on my prescription for Lyrica. All you have to do is look up is Lyrica a controlled substance, every page states that it is as well as the pharmacies. It might be that your pharmacy thought you already knew, therefor did not include the proper labeling.
I am a pharmacy technician and Lyrica is in fact a controlled substance. It is a schedule 5 (class) which is the lowest class for any narcotics. I would talk with my pharmacist and ask all questions with him/her about the drug that you are taking. Knowing what the drug is and what it may or may not do to you including side effects,food interactions and any drug interactions are the most important thing you can do!!
My pharmacy treats lyrica as a controlled substance. That's why I'm on line trying to research what makes it controlled.
