I had to switch from Lyrica to Neurontin. I think Lyrica is the more advanced and effective drug, but has a higher incidence of side effects. If you have a compressed subclavian artery the brachial plexus is likely being compressed as well. I don't think Lyrica or Neurontin is indicated unless you are having nerve compression/irritation.
