Hi fellow bear :-)

I haven't taken Lyrica myself, but I attended a neurological conference earlier this year for a condition that I have (trigeminal neuralgia). They had a panel of some of the nation's leading pain management experts, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. They reported some good results with Lyrica....so it is now being used to treat nerve pain now in certain cases. I think it is a relatively new use of this drug, and the drug itself hasn't been on the market all that long either, I think - but the results sound good. Hope this helps.

Take care,
