"i&#039;ve been taking this medicine for over a year now. i have no side effects and it effectively gets rid of my pain. i&#039;m in no way addicted to or have anything bad to say about this medicine. it helps my back pain a great deal. i was taking oxycodone for 1 1/2 years before my spine specialist put me on this medication. i love that i&#039;m not tired and can do things again. without it, i can&#039;t even get out of bed and that&#039;s no exaggeration i promise you. it&#039;s done wonders for my back and the lyrica has done wonders for the nerve pain in my leg."
