I can't help but feel that most of the impetus for Lyrica came from the expiration of the patent for Neurontin.
Most of the new people on the forums are looking for such concrete assurances, while those of us with more experience get very little help or information from our doctors, especially our neurologists, and come to accept that and rely on ourselves and each other.
