Pharmacology

Text explains no direct action on GABA (A or B) receptors, which is fair. At the same section, there is a glorious figure of a GABA receptor and pregabalin molecules as if they are agonists on it, and a caption that only says "Pregabalin is not a GABAA or GABAB receptor agonist". Why have a figure showing it as agonist just to say it is NOT an agonist? The figure serves no purpose at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.230.77 (talk) 09:26, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Publishedarticles

@ThaddeusSholto: I refer to the edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pregabalin&diff=1208934179&oldid=1208821290

I visited the User talk:Publishedarticles and found out that other editors consider that "it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers". While this may be true, but this particular edit, in isolation, seems to be relevant and compliant. If the administration considers that the user Publishedarticles violates the rules of Wikipedia, than the administrators will take administrative action. Still, that edit is OK in my opinion. If you think that this edit is not OK, please give your argument other than that it was done by a user suspected in adding citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

@Maxim Masiutin: I provided a reason in the edit summary. This is WP:CITESPAM. Publishedarticles has spent years adding references to papers by Jamir Pitton Rissardo and it is apparently their sole reason for editing here. These edits are self-promotional. They have racked up warnings over the years yet continue to do so. Per policy the links should be removed and the user warned which is what happened here. Upholding policy is not the sole domain of administrators. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation, I didn't know that all the articles are by Jamir Pitton Rissardo. Your explanation makes sense, thank you again! Maxim Masiutin (talk) 17:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

calming effect may change if a patients calm is disrupted!! !!

!! WARNING !! I took Lyrica with dosage of 150mg/day and it gave me a calming effect under a period of time, but then suddenly the calming effect switched to a stressed condition which increased pulse, and bloodpressure. I usually have a pulse around 65 bpm but when the stressed effect kicked in it went up 120!! !! Newly discovered sideeffects!! !! (talk) 14:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
