Lyrica For Epilepsy Posted: 05-12-05 13:39pm


Has anyone heard anything about when lyrica might be approved in the us? Also, if you already take lyrica, what are the side effects and have your seizures decreased??

Http://www.Drugdevelopment- technology.Com/project_printable.Asp?Proje ctid=2682 i have just been reading about it. It is a gabapentenoid according to pfizer. Similar to gabapentin in how it works I guess. Used first for neuropathic pain and adding fibro and e to the list soon....

Seems to be a derivative of gapapentin. If you do a google search on either gabapentin and lyrica you can get some more info...Hope this helps
