Hi Sanramort I hope that you have a positive outcome with Lyrica. It's not a narcotic I was told it is not even addictive which is why it's being prescribed so much for pain control. I found it controlled my pain extrmely well but I'd have been bald if my hair fell out at the rate it was! Not everyone experiences that negative effects of it and it's certainly been a life saver for some chrnic pain sufferes! All the best.
