Hi Marty, long time no see!
Your question should really be: Does Lyrica actually work?
Two new studies show that it is rather disappointing.

Lyrica from what I've seen here works (if it is going to work) right off. What tends to happen is that it stops working and people end up getting huge doses...which eventually stop working altogether, and then you have a difficult discontinuance.
So you will need to think about benefit vs risk... as Lyrica can have significant CNS depressant actions, weight gain, and edema. It is very difficult to discontinue as well.
