Not everyone has positive results with gabapentin or Lyrica.
There were just two studies published that showed Lyrica is only equal to placebo for chronic pain, by Pfizer.
And a large metastudy done on gabapentin analyzing the past studies over the years found only 30% of people found pain relief from gabapentin.
Here is another thread that discusses this:

So basically people are not all going to profit from either drug, and encouraging them to raise doses, is not going to work for everyone.
