Default Lyrica vs Generic. Is pregabalin as effective?

Hello, I have fibromyalgia and small fibre neuropathy. My insurance company is no longer going to pay for my Lyrica so I'm going to try the generic pregabalin. Any thoughts on how effective it is for small fibre neuorpathy? Currently I save up my dosage to take at bedtime to dampen the burning sensation in my feet and lower legs so I can fall asleep. I used to take 75 twice a day but I now take 75 at once at bedtime.

I tried Cymbalta in the past and had terrible side effects when I withdrew. Insurance won't pay for that either. Thanks for your thoughts.
