He is going to start me on Lyrica 75 mg twice a day. I haven't had much time to research this drug, but the little I have done it seems to work wonders on many people. Does anyone have any 1st hand experience with this drug that they can share with me? Thx all

I take a low dose of Lyrica in combination with other meds. With the exception of some initial lethargy I have had no bad reactions. It has also seemed to be weight neutral for me. It has also given me some relief from the neuropathic pain. It's worth a try.
Lyrica is the same class of drug as Neurontin. It is an anti-seizure medication that works on neuropathic pain. Quite frankly, Neurontin did nothing for me.
Hope this works well for you.
