Pregabalin Abuse Surges in Merseyside: A Deadly Combo of Anxiety Drug, Alcohol, and Homelessness A dangerous trend is emerging in Merseyside, where the prescription drug pregabalin is being widely abused, particularly among homeless individuals. Originally used to treat anxiety, epilepsy, and pain, pregabalin is now being mixed with alcohol and sold for less than a pound a pill. Local charities warn that this deadly combination is likely to result in an increase in deaths. The misuse of pregabalin is on the rise, with users buying batches directly on local streets. Those affected exhibit zombie-like behavior, confusion, and slowed movements, putting them at high risk, especially when combined with methadone or alcohol. The drugs misuse has led to numerous incidents of collapse, robbery, and death. Nationally, mentions of pregabalin on death certificates in England and Wales have nearly quadrupled over the past five years, with over ninety percent involving other drugs like opiates or alcohol. Despite being a Class C controlled substance since 2019, making it illegal without a prescription, recreational use remains a significant concern. Police, health services, charities, and the council are all working together to combat the issue. Charities advocate for better education from childhood and increased funding, while the council highlights free support through Wirral Ways for those affected. Checkout Solipillow.com
