This is not true. Many who have taken neurontin and disliked it, switched to Lyrica and are doing quite well.
You must try it and decide for yourself.
I've been taking it successfully (200mg 3x day) along with Tramadol (Ultram), for over 3 yrs now.

Is this any good for muscle caused headaches, do you know?
I'm finding it hard to stop my constant headaches. Tramadol and codeine work, but is Lyrica a better alternative?

Lyrica is an anti-seizure med, not a pain killer.
It is used for Fibro, though
Headaches ...?? I'm not so sure.
Check with the literature (RxList.com or Pfizer), and your doc.
