Does the VA prescribe LYRICA?

Outside pain management doc rx    me    LYRICA.   I called the phar  money    , and they want 511 buckskins for 30 days supply.

My VA  lies so much, I  cant believe anything they say, and usually thier answer is NO, NO, NO. So im trying to find out if they prescribe to anyone at all at any VAMC.

Yes, it is called pregabalin.  I have multiple refills.

I tried it and cymbalta too, both prescribed by the VA.  Pregabalin made me incredibly tired (was sleepy all day long) and cymbalta made me vomit.

Cymbalta actually put me in the hospital for a week vomiting and I can't blame my fatigue/exhaustion on the lyrica because it could be because of my fibromyalgia. Either way I feel wiped out all the time.
