Lyrica is a newer, improved version of Neurontin. Another drug used is Topamax. I tried both Lyrica and Neurontin and like Topamax better. Lyrica made me really nuts (I was having outbursts when I was taking it, similar to Ali's when she when was going off of it). I gained weight on Neurontin and was tired a lot. For me, Topamax has caused fewer side effects. Everyone is different.
The best of luck to you.
