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??

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
