People can tell you what they've tried and what's worked/not worked for them, but that's not really relevant. Everyone's different, so it's going to be a trial & error process to find what will work for
you.
Just be aware that the prescription non-narcotics can/may be even more difficult to get off of than the narcotics (e.g. all the Lyrica threads here and on the
Chronic Pain forum), and can have just as bad (if not worse) longterm effects. Whatever is discussed/prescribed, I would advise doing plenty of homework before committing yourself.
