This is really fascinating. I have been wondering about the huge marketing campaign for Lyrica aimed at Fibromyalgia patients, especially since Fibro is such a "soft" diagnosis, without a definitive test or cause. I am not implying that it isn't real, only that I don't know how you market a medication specifically for such a mysterious condition.
I know that a lot of neuropathy patients get moved from Neurontin to Lyrica. Since they are related, does this say anything about the effectiveness of Gabapentin? I definitely notice an increase in burning and zaps if I forget my bedtime pill, so I assume it does something.
With my new symptoms of burning over most of my body I was wondering if it was time to increase my dosage of 1800mg per day.
