Why is it abused?
Does it cause euphoria...does one get "high" from it?
I'm asking a valid question here...not sniping at you...because I was put on Lyrica for over 6 months before the stupid MD's finally found out that a piece of shrapnel from Viet Nam had migrated into my hip joint and was causing excruciating pain, similar to sciatica, but not emanating from my spine.
Lyrica did nothing...zero...zip for me.
The only relief I got was from Norco and I damn well know how it can make one feel.
So, seriously, how does one abuse Lyrica?

Everyone reacts differently to different drugs. I was on Neurontin for 4 years and it kept getting less effective until I was up to 1200mg 3x a day. I talked to a couple of people who were on less than 100mg a day (TOTAL) and they said they couldn’t function.
Lyrica for me basically feels like I’ve had about 3 beers in rapid succession. Being someone that has about 3 beers a year, each separated by several months, means I feel rather tipsy. Taking several Lyrica at once would amplify that.
The propensity for abuse is the reason the pharmacy has to check your id and log it when it’s purchased. I can’t see that I’d abuse it but then I’ve never tried drinking cough syrup for the side effects either but some people do.
