I dont think my neuro was giving me Lyrica because any drug company was pushing him to. I think he was trying to help me find relief.

When I took some of the stabby drugs (copaxone) a few years back, he let me decide on my own which drug to take, and when I decided I didnt want to do it any more, he had no problems with it. (he said during one visit that he didnt think any of the stabby drugs worked, and that kind of killed any confidence that I had in it)

When I told him the experience I was having with the Lyrica, he told me to throw it away. He doesnt seem to have any problems with me making my own decisions on what to take and when. Only drugs that I take for my MS now is just the occasional baclofen and valium. Which I dont take all the time. Maybe a couple of times a month I'll need a baclofen.
