Lyrica is certainly the choice of my nuerologist. I am on 450 mg / day which is a lot. I went down to 300 to see what would happen and could hardly walk. However, I have complained that after 2 years sober I don't feel like it's any better so maybe it's time to have a talk with my doctor. Especially after what I see here.

I am also curious if anyone uses opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc given our history with alcohol abuse? I was told it could trigger something and make you more susceptible to a relapse. I don't know, all I know is I hurt, a lot. I also have back issues separate from PN that requires physical therapy weekly. I have associated pain with alcohol and that is a huge deterrent for me.

BTW, lyrics does make you hungry. You can eat and never feel full. It's been a struggle with lack of exercise and medication side effects to not gain weight. Weight gain is the last thing my feet need!
