Prior answer: "prozac:)" - Is not even close substitution. Lyrica is a form of anticonvulsant that is often used to treat nervous system pain such as neuropathy. Is currently the only drug approved to treat fibromyalgia, although many other drugs are used. Prozac is the brand name for an ssri antidepressant. Antidepressants are often helpful in pain management. Prozac is not usually one of them. Correct answer: Neurontin is generic anticonvulsant, most often used to treat neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and shingles. Not identical, but next closest relative to Lyrica. Rarely used as primary anticonvulsant.

Is there a generic drug for lyrica?
The patent for Lyrica will expire October 2013. This means that the manufacture will no longer hold the rights to its formula leaving the door open for generics. Usually when the patent runs out the generic becomes available the third to last week of the month. So expect that generic Lyrica will be available for purchase around October 23, 2013. And just for note it is expected to NOT lower the cost by much. In fact when a new medication is the first of its kind it can take years before the price finally lowers, so don't expect it on Walmart's list of $4 generics
