Hello, David! How are you?

It may help you more than the Gabapentin does, but there's no way to say for sure, you'd have to try it and see.

It is a very similar medication, Lyrica contains the active ingredient Pregabalin, which is also an anticonvulsant that's been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Side effects typically include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, weight changes and mood swings.

Is there anything else I can help with?
