How is Lyrica different from Neurontin?

by Admin on March 15, 2010

i thought they were both gabapentin of based on gabapentin. is this just a way the pharmaceutical companies charge more for a med once it comes off patent or is it different?

Good thinking, but not in this case. When Prilosec was about to come off patent, out came Nexium. When Effexor was petering out, Pristiq came out.

Lyrica is very close to gabapentin, but different. Different companies. It seems to work faster with fewer side effects in many patients.
