Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Has anyone tried the FDA approved generic Rx of pregabalin in place of Lyrica? If so did it perform as well as the brand version? I am currently at 200 mg/day dosage, with PLM occurring about every other night which I can usually combat by reading for about an hour. Thanks, Fred

You may be the first on this forum. Generic Lyrica was approved only a few months ago and it usually takes manufacturers at least a couple of months to get their manufacturing facilities and FDA approvals complete before the generic is actually available to purchase.

I just went to look at my bottle. Sure enough it no longer says Lyrica on the bottle. I was wondering why my out of pocket co-pay went way down a few months ago. So the only difference i can tell is the price.

Thanks. My refill is not due yet, but I will check to see what the copay difference is .
