Lyrica is a wonderful medication for those of us suffering with fibromyalgia, if you can afford it. Lyrica gives you more days where you can feel almost "normal". Regretfully there are still so many people and even doctors who just don't believe what it feels like with this disease and how it affects so many different areas of your life. Fibromyalgia causes REAL physical pain, depression and sleep problems to name just a few aspects of it.
Lyrica, regretfully is very expensive even if you have insurance. Without insurance a 30 day supply can cost between $300 and $400.
I have taken Lyrica for almost 2 years now. After I lost my insurance, I contacted Pfizer about my finances. I have not yet heard back from Pfizer but I have confidence they will be helping me stay on this medication. With Lyrica the need to take stronger pain management medication is lessened, without Lyrica just to be able to get through the day or go to my job has been extremely difficult and sometimes impossible.
