A member asked:
Should i continue taking my antidepressant pills lyrica (pregabalin) to control my fibromyalgia.would i experience pain as before if i stop them.?

Probably continue: Lyrica (pregabalin) is typically not an antidepressant but helps in neuropathic and fibromyalgia pains. If it is helping you may have to continue-or may be taper the dosage if you are on a higher dose.
