"lyrica has saved my life, just wish i&#039;d have started taking it sooner and it would have saved my marriage.  my pain is completely controlled and i am no longer taking anti-depressants.  i didn&#039;t realize it helped with gad, but it does.  i actually feel human again and interact with others.  it does have some side effects, can&#039;t concentrate and a drunk feeling but compared to the pain i was enduring, these side effects are worth it to me."
