There has sure been a huge number of posts started on the use of Lyrica for treating fibromyalgia. My doc first tried it on me over a year ago, and we kept going up to higher and higher doses, but I never had any good effects, just a whole lot of side-effects.

Then again, I have heard from other people who say that the Lyrica really did help them, so I guess it has to do with your body chemistry a lot. Oh, and Sydney, I did read a very long article about why Lyrica was formulated. I'm not sure if it's the same as what you read or not, but this article claimed that one of the main reasons was that the company making Neurontin had lost it's patent on the medicine, and Lyrica was supposed to be an improved version of that medication.
