No, not yet.
Generic Lyrica is not expected to be available until at least October 2013, when the patent for Lyrica expires. Until then, be aware that any medicine sold on the Internet claiming to be generic Lyrica may be fake, substandard, and potentially dangerous. Do not buy any generic Lyrica drug until an approved generic is available.
A moderate drug interaction does exist between primapexole and gabapentin.
Side effects may be additive meaning you could feel more light headed, have slower reactions & impaired thinking etc - you should be careful driving until you know how these medicines effect you. Talk with your doctor if you are bothered by these effects.
