So, so far, the lyrica is terrific.
.............Do you know if there is a way to get lyrica at a generic price, or if not, is there a way that one can get patient assistance through them.

Mel,
Lyrica is not available as a generic. They'll (Pfizer) prolly wait until the patent runs out just like Neurontin (gabapentin) before that happens (7 yrs?).
I don't know if they have a Rx assitance plan- you'll hjave to do some research.
Yes, Lyrica works for me like Alan says. It is the best I've felt in over 6 yrs.
I hope it continues, cuz I'm at the max on it (600mgs/day) and the max on Tramadol (400mgs/day).
If not...........well, it'll be a lot of pain and trial and error again.
Happy Holidays
