I like Lyrica as an add on to either trazodone or doxepin for sleep. I'm currently on 20mg doxepin to help increase stage 4 sleep (I have Fibromyalgia and had no stage 4 sleep according to my last sleep study), and adding 25-50mg of Lyrica at night allows me to keep the doxepin dosage lower (and avoid side effects) and also seems to give me deeper sleep (subjective assessment). Lyrica also takes the edge off anxiety, though I need to be careful to keep the dose low or I'm too groggy during the day. Lyrica does cause some peripheral numbness.
