That's not entirely accurate. While both are used for some types of neuropathic pain and anxiety disorders, they do so by somewhat different means. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is an SSRI antidepressant, while Lyrica (pregabalin) is an anticonvulsant (and a Schedule V controlled substance in the US). Doc

I think we all can; my DW is in the midst of SSRI withdrawal. L-tryptophan helps some (whereas I don't know that it would with Lyrica), but she still has days...
