As all three of the drugs named - Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Amitriptyline (Elavil) - have multiple indications and uses, it is not possible to provide a figure for the amount spent each year by the Health Service Executive on the reimbursement of these drugs for a specific condition, i.e. fibromyalgia.
