Not everyone has positive results with gabapentin or Lyrica.

There were just two studies published that showed Lyrica is only equal to placebo for chronic pain, by Pfizer.

And a large metastudy done on gabapentin analyzing the past studies over the years found only 30% of people found pain relief from gabapentin.

Here is another thread that discusses this:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread169216.html

So basically people are not all going to profit from either drug, and encouraging them to raise doses, is not going to work for everyone.
