Lyrica Disclaimer

Lyrica, some anticonvulsant/anxiety medication marketed for pain management, has a fun disclaimer that says: "Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse Lyrica." But how do we know they're telling the truth about this? They might be lying just to smear drug addicts! They should have to prove it with some druggie saying: "Hey, man, I'm a drug abuser, and I love Lyrica! But I always misuse it, so look out if you're like me, man!" Okay, so maybe that wouldn't prove anything, but seeing is believing, isn't it? So it's better than nothing. What, are we just supposed to trust drug companies? Yeah, right: with all those side effects they list, not a chance! (Hey, maybe they could get Cheech & Chong to be their celebrity druggie spokesmen?)

Here's the addictive advertisement:
