Our insurance company automatically fills the script with generic when a generic is available, unless the Dr says "dispense as written". You need to ask your insurance company.

So are you saying there is a generic, which is pregabalin but its just not available in the US yet? I do take lyrica but I dont know if my Doc put an X for the generic. My Ins paid for it anyway , but it had to be pre-authorized and they said its only good till the end of the year. Im wondering if I could get the generic if he marked an X. I just thought lyrica didnt go generic yet, but then later I started reading about Pregabalin and it became confusing.
On a diff note, Dont even think Im gonna stay on lyrica, im on 300mgs for sfn and this stupid drug is not even helping
. any comments anyone?? Thank you..
