Is Lyrica considerd a blood thinner?

StrawberryAttractionJul 24, 2016
Hello, im having a liposuction/ fat transfer/body sculpting in a week, and ive been taking lyrica on and off for about 2 years. Like every procedure, aspirin and bloodthinners should be avoided 10 days before the surgery. If I'm off of lyrica for a week before my surgery is that ok? I'm abit nervous and paranoid, i dont want any dangerous risks or effects.
