No, they don't work the same and are not interchangeable.

Zoloft is an SSRI antidepressant.

Lyrica is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat certain types of nerve pain.

They work in different ways and do not treat the same conditions.

You can read more on both at the following links:

If you were using the Zoloft to help with pain, then the Lyrica could be a viable alternative to try. In addition, if you were using it for a mood disorder, it may also help, because anticonvulsants are known to do that, too. However, they are not the same and don't work the same.

Are there any questions or comments?
