A member asked:

Can lyrica (pregabalin) help with headches? & neck pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it may be an : Option for treatment after an evaluation by your physician. Neurontin (gabapentin) is similar and comes in a generic version so it is cheaper and tends to have less side effects based on its absorption pattern.
