patients.

Its cousin Neurontin was tried for bipolar off label, and did not
work. It will be interesting to see if Lyrica which is chemically related makes the grade.
I have been taking Lyrica for about 3 years and it does absolutely nothing for my anxiety... BUT... It may help someone else.... I have Bipolar 1 with severe anxiety....
