Conclusions: This paper adds to the growing body of literature suggesting that pregabalin has a non-medical use potential. When prescribing pregabalin, clinicians should consider completing a risk assessment for non-medical use, especially in patients with a Substance Use Disorder history. Therefore, pregabalin off-label prescriptions should be carefully considered.
