Re: Lyrica/pregabalin for sleep?

[Guest guest]

The FDA approved pregabalin -- now called Lyrica -- for pain, but there was

a lot of talk lst year about it being good for sleep in Fibromyalgia. It's a

third generation derivative of Neurontin. Neurotin is about to go generic, so

of course Pfizer's looking to replace the 3 billion dollars in revenue; but,

that said, it's on my list of drugs to try, after Lunesta.

It's a controlled substance, so many doctors may be reluctant to

prescribe it off label.

The lack of restorative sleep is hell.
