Thanks!

Nice to meet you...it's weird that I just posted a new thread because I've been switched also...just last Monday.....the neuro told me to not take my gaba that night and to take a 75 mg lyrica instead. No tapering down since he said they are so closely related. I've had a crappy week but know I need to stay on the lyrica for another week to see if these feelings and pain can level themselves out.

Good luck to your friend
