Hi, everyone.
Like Tony, I've come over from the Peripheral Neuropathy forum, as well.
There is a fibro discussion over there regarding a post I saw on another site
where a rheumatologist told someone that her fibro was a result of her PN. I thought it was a questionable diagnoses and wanted some feedback.

Regarding Lyrica.
I've been taking it for almost 3 years, now. I switched from Neurontin (gabapentin) after over 6 years on that med.
Cost - expensive. Depends on the dosage.
It comes in 50mg to 200mg doses.(50/100/150/200)
My 3xdaily 200mg caps (90/month) would run me over $300/month if I didn't have an Rx plan on my ins.(it costs me $30/month now - 1/10th)
I'm concerned what will happen in 2 yrs when I have to go on Medicare (I'm 63). I take it along with Tramadol (Ultram), for my cronic PN pain and symptom relief.
It is not the same as gabapentin, altho it was designed to replace it by Pfizer. It is in the same 'family' (anti-seizure medications) but a different med entirely.
They are both used to treat PN, but I switched when the gabapentin stopped working well for me. I tried a lot of other meds as I was waiting (for about a year) for Lyrica to come on the market, and nothing else would work for me.
