Hello Chantal,
This is Heather and I live in Calgary. On the TM Forum I am known there as
'Sew'.
Yes, Lyrica is being taken by some people with TM. 'Most' people seem to
find it is working very well for them and they are easing off
Neurontin/Gabapentin onto the Lyrica. It can take a while to do that.
In Canada it is not covered under medical unless you have some private
medical coverage and then it may be covered. I have priced it here in
Calgary and it is $92.00 for 50 pills that are 75 mg per pill. That can get
to be pretty pricey.
I think that most people here on the TMIC are taking up to 300 mg. per day.
I figured that for a year that would work out to just over $2,000.
I was at a Group Support meeting for people who suffer from Peripherial
Neuropathy. There was a fellow there who is taking 600 mg per day. He
suffers from cancer so is also on lots of other meds.
