I have been on it for a year ( at a much higher dosage) and it seems to work better than before. Zipsor is one that I wish I could of took longer. United Healthcare didn't cover it after my sample ran out. I have also been on Fentanyl patch for about the same amount of time as the Lyrica. I think that this combination has helped me the most.
i knew when the docotr gave me the sampple that translated to newer drug higher cost. i have health choice, so it's most likely not covered by them either.
