The dose of Lyrica you are taking is tiny - I'm surprised your doctor hasn't had you start to titrate it up during the month you have been taking it. Since you have started with it, it would certainly be worth requesting a plan to increase the dose at an appropriate rate to see if you can get pain relief with it. It would be a shame not to give it a good try since it might work for you and give you good relief.
In conjunction with a host of other medication, I have found Cymbalta helpful for pain relief - insofar as any medication is helpful with CRPS pain. I did find that at the lower dose of 30mg per day it did nothing, it was only once I increased it to the normal adult therapeutic dose of 60mg per day that it worked for me. I noticed the difference almost immediately.
