I will say I have tried gabapentin and cymbalta and this by far has the least side effects. When I first started it made my very tired and spacey but I waited and these went away too. When I say spacey I mean I would be trying to have a conversation with a friend and literally just forget what I was talking about! But this passed. I am sure it doesn't take as long for everyone but it probably did take about a month for it to kick in. Hope that Lyrica helps your husband out with his pain
