A member asked:

Does lyrica (pregabalin) work on severe pain ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: In my personal clinical experience Lyrica (pregabalin) can be a very good adjuct to pain medications for some of my patients with severe pain. It is worth trying if you are suffering from severe pain. Talk to your doctor about how to take.
