As far as the other statments,i think its a bit much to say its less effective,again everyone is different,you have success with lyrcia and thats great,but there are people who dont.
I came across a group once of people speaking on a few things,
They were upset on being put on lyrcia over Nueotion because A they found lyrcia to be much more of a weight gain issue.
B obviously lyrcia is more expensive since its non generic.
C They simply found Nuerontion to work better for them.
They hold similiar sturctures,but do have significant differances.You seem as if your defending lyrcia lol,they are both options,lets keep all options open.
Also there is no fact more important than a persons response.I cant use the nuerontion caps,why i dont know.Only the tabs.
Perhaps this was a case with lyrcia too,the capsules make me ill.Either way i hope,and doubt the drug just comming off patent will dissappear,not because a similiar drug arrived,in fact id bet a lot on this not being the case,not gonna happen.Either way im glad its around now,its been of great help to me,and in the end thats all that really matters.
