Short side note...
ON my dr. Appt. Last week my doc said they had been told Lyrica is going
generic in July this year...... It will still be high priced I'm sure but my medicare advantage plan makes it tough to buy. Last year I stopped the Lyrica and went back to the Gabe pent in just because of the cost. The Gabe pent in does nothing for me and I could tell how much the Lyrica worked only after I stopped taking it. It only takes me 3 months to get into the GAP with my insurance so a I have had to take away many meds that worked well for me for cheaper ones that are very inferior.
anyway, hopefully she was right

I googled it and found this article,

Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Pfizer Inc., the world’s biggest drugmaker, won a court ruling that will block generic versions of its No. 1 product, Lyrica, in the U.S. until December 2018.
