[TMIC] Lyrica

I have been on Lyrica for over two months now. I was taking Neurontin and Baclofen. I quit the neurontin and Baclofen a couple of years ago and started taking Effexor which worked pretty good for my pain. I also tried the Marinol but it made me feel to lethargic so I quit that pretty quick.
