Has anyone seen statistics on how Lyrica compares to Neurontin for treatment
of shingles pain? Which has more / worse side effects?

Don't take Lycra if you are taking Actos or Avandia.

Neurotin is a WASTE of time, for anything. Haven't you seen the Dateline
stories on that crap.? The only thing it's good for is the drug company that
mass produces it.
CAn you say GARBAGE?

That article proves nothing with reference to my original question.
Neurontin is FDA approved for treatment of Shingles pain. The fact that
the marketing department of the company that makes the drug is run by
overzealous and irresponsible people who also recommended it for other uses
does not in any way mean it does not work for those applications where it is
approved. Since the article you included doesn't even discuss or make
assertions about Shingles pain I don't see how it is relevant.
