I had an idea of reference that they were talking about me although i know they did not. Also someone on the street said "too lazy to work" and i also had an idea of reference. This was yesterday.I am glad that you understand your illness(s) so well.
I experienced ideas of reference during my manic attacks. I needed full doses of Zyprexa or valproate 1000-1500 mg/day to make the psychotic symptoms disappear entirely. However, I am truly bipolar.

In theory. It does happen, though. I just don't know how often. I would start a new thread and ask who has become addicted to Lyrica; being sure to differentiate between true addiction with cravings versus physiologically dependence with withdrawal syndrome. Lyrica tends to work better for GAD than Neurontin. I guess you should try Neurontin first. Let's hope it works for you. However, unless substance addiction has been an issue with you in the past, you could then switch to Lyrica. Any "high" that you might experience with Lyrica wears of very quickly - within a few days. For me, the high was not at all euphoric. It was more of a feeling of being slightly drunk with less anxiety. I felt in some way lighter and less apt to ruminate. "Horse" would be a good person to talk to about Lyrica.
You are a hard worker. You probably read and learn stuff faster than I do, and I try to check in with you so that I can learn things. I also like to help when I can.
