I am curious as to exactly what kinds of pain Lyrica is helpful with (understanding that everyone is different). For me, 60mg daily of Nortriptylene is helpful with pins & needles, tingling, burning & a bit of forefoot pain. I add 50mg (usually, but sometimes 100mg) of Tramadol in the AM which helps with forefoot pain, some of the numb feeling & helps me with my balance. It kind of rearranges the feelings in my feet.

I see that Lyrica must be safe to take with Amitriptylene. I wonder about the Tramadol. My Dr(s) are pretty flexible unless I get needing too much in the line of opioids, then they would be wanting me to try something else, like Cymbalta or Lyrica. Is Lyrica available generically in the US now?
