Was on Gabapentin for three years but began feeling really ill on it. I have not been able to find a replacement that offers the same level of pain relief.
Anybody in a similar situation that could offer some advice, would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Andy, and welcome.
My base pain relief is a drug called Lyrica, which takes care of the electric shock style pain. I also take Tramadol to help take the edge of the burning, stinging pain. Both work nicely to keep my pain managable. Like Gabapentin, Lyrica needs easing into slowly.
I'm interested to see how you go, what works for you. Please keep us informed of your progress.
