I am taking Lyrica now. My insurance company refused to pay for it and suggested I use Neurontin. I told my pcp that IU had tried Neurontin and I would not take it again. Her office told the insurance company I had taken it before and they had to argue for almost a week to get approval, which they finally did. I am starting off on 100mg of Lyrica for two weeks with and increase to 200mg. It's pretty low dose I think. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
