Just a question... if gralise worked for (already on it twice and now going back) why did you go off? (just trying to find out what my next option should be). I am not worried about weight gain as I have lost 35 pounds since this started and am sitting at 110lbs (which is fine for my height of 5'3, but I am not worried about gaining 20lbs if something works well)
It wasn't my idea, the pain Dr's they thought the other drugs could work better for me. Cymbalta & I did not get along at all, I've always been laid back and while on it I would start to get angry over little things so we stopped that. After 3 days of no Lyrica or Nuerotin(Gralise) I can honestly say the Lyrica was doing way more than I ever gave it credit for.

Good luck I hope they find something to provide you with some level of relief.
