Yeah, Mel......leave Alan's balls alone ..... !! LOLOL
As for the Lyrica, I take it and have no ill effects.
IMHO, its great, but I didn't have any problems with Neurontin either.
I've heard both sides- some who couldn't tolerate Neurontin, do OK & now swear by Lyrica.......and some who took Neurontin OK, can't take the s/e of Lyrica. I guess ya gotta try it to see what happens- a 50/50 shot?.
