> It is much more powerful than neurontin. It mimics GABA. I took neurontin 1200 mgs. for about 6 mos., it did absolutely nothing for me. I have been on Lyrica 300 mgs. bid since august and it has been like a wonder drug for me, relieving both depression and anxiety and helping me to be more pro-social. I have noticed however (about the last couple of mos.) that the effect is not as strong as it once was. :( I believe i am building tolerance to it.

I wish Lyrica could have been better for me, but I value not having blurry vision, on top of a visual disorder :/
