Is it truly helpful?
Where is your doc located ?
(I'm in MD - Hopkins)
I'd never heard of using Lyrica
as a breakthru med before

I take 150mg of the Lyrica twice daily. Then when I have a flare up I take the extra 75mg plus 2x50mg of tramadol and 800mg of Ibuprofen. I think it's the combo of the three together that work. Sometimes better then others. It really seems to work well with burning and moderately on the pain.

I live in Salt Lake City Utah.
