Advice & Tips
With these meds and eith depression/anxiety meds the efficacy and the side effects are usually very individual. Lyrica helps me and I would personally recommend trying it. If you do try it and it's not for you I would strongly warn-- as w/ the depression/anxiety meds-- wean off very slowly and try not to miss a dose. Withdrawal for these things can make you very sick. Also, it was pretty simple for me to receive the meds for free through drug co. assistance-- if you can't afford your meds there is help out there for a lot of them, thank God.

that it can (and does) cause weight gain, but it really helps the neuropathic pain - I tried 4 days back on Tramadex and ibuprofen and ended up in severe pain. I've decided that I'll deal with any wt gain that I have, but I'll definitely stay on the Lyrica.

Advice & Tips
That if you need this medicine but can't afford it, look up Pfizer's website - they have a form you can fill out that will tell you what programs they have you're eligible for. Just fill it out, print out the forms they indicate (and make sure you read everything, it can be a bit confusing, and you need a separate form for the Lyrica too), take them to your Dr, mail them, and you're done. It's not hard at all, and I'm one of those people that really has a hard time getting things done.

Advice & Tips
I get this medication through Pfizer's "Connection To Care" Program due to the fact that my medical insurance refuses to pay for it even though it's on the drug plan I have. I've been fortunate to receive this medication through the program.
