I wish I could take it as my neuropathy, or whatever is causing my legs to go into knots and burn and hurt, could use some help.

I took it four years ago when I had Shingles in my leg and hip. After I got home from the hospital and could not yet walk except with a walker. The Lyrica took away all pain, but unfortunately it also gave me a suffocating feeling. I had to quit. My reactions, although listed in the PDR, are sometimes not the main side effects, so you can't go on my response. However, just a comment that Lyrica is VERY powerful. One pill took away all pain but the side effect was impossible to stand.
