Lyrica is expensive and came about long after Amitriptyline. At the time Amitriptyline came on the market, it was used in large doses for depression. Medical people discovered later that in small doses, it shuts down excess electricity which causes muscle spasm. Amitriptyline is extremely cheap since now there are generics. Lyrica does stop nerve pain, I just don’t want the expense.
