Tried them all my ranking
Cymbalta - did not like the side effect which made me any angry person with a short fuse. I'm laid back easy going not that angry person.
Gabepetin - was up to 1,800 mg a day did not like the foggy side effect but helped with the pain. Was able to get down to 1,200 mg a day.
Lyrica - seemed liked it was working but I got tired of the insurance company dance so went back to Gralise.
Gralise - is timed release Gabepentin so you take it once a day before bed. You sleep through the side effects. I don't have the roller coaster of that its almost time for a pill feeling. It took me so long to get this approved I was hesitant to go through it all again for Lyrica, and possibly lose the approval for Gralise.
And I agree back pain sucks but I think nueropathy pain is worse. I had L3-4-5 fused 5 months ago.
